The First Guardians: Victory and Lace (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798188705251)

The war is won. The wedding is not. And the country isn't finished asking.

Yorktown, 1781. The guns have fallen silent, but for Julia Vickers and Seth Barnaby, the hardest years are just beginning. A traitor sails for England with a secret he can never tell. An unpaid army gathers on the Hudson, one anonymous letter away from turning on the country it saved. And a betrothal that has survived eight years of war keeps waiting on the same old promise: when the work allows.

The work never allows. Someone is going to have to overrule it.

From the last siege of the Revolution to the morning the Constitutional Convention gathers, Victory and Lace carries Julia and Seth through the birth of the American republic, the spectacles that stopped a coup, a commission returned like a borrowed tool, a homecoming to Boston nine years in the making, and finally, at Christ Church in Philadelphia, in May of 1787, the wedding five books have earned.

The triumphant conclusion of The First Guardians a story of faith, family, and the quiet keepers of a new nation, for readers 10 to 13 and everyone who remembers being one. Includes a historical note, glossary, and reading guide for young historians.

Phase One of the Guardians Universe concludes here. The story continues in The New Guard Defending a Nation.
