Bookroo's summary

In a world of betrayal and war, the Epic Order of the Seven races to thwart an assassination plot against General Washington. As the British fleet looms, the fate of the revolution hangs in the balance. With the Declaration of Independence igniting rebellion, can the colonies survive? Meanwhile, the Marquis de Lafayette must escape France to aid the cause. Will these heroes outmaneuver their enemies and secure freedom? Dive into a tale of courage and cunning where every decision could change history.

From the publisher

Escape through a maze of deception, betrayal, and death is the key to survival for thirteen rebellious colonies that dare to fight tyranny and win their independence. Powerful forces seek to cut off the head of their Don’t Tread on Me snake by assassinating General George Washington as the unstoppable British fleet sails into New York Harbor. The Epic Order of the Seven must identify and stop the assassin, or the epic Battle of New York will be over before it even begins. The Declaration of Independence rallies patriots to tear down the statue of King George III, but will its words be worth dying for? The Howe Brothers chase Washington and his dwindling Continental Army across New Jersey until he learns how to outfox them and lives to fight another day at Trenton and Princeton. The animal team knows those small victories won’t be enough to win a war and must convince France to covertly join the fight. They must help France’s wealthy Marquis de Lafayette sail for America to fight alongside Washington, but first he must escape King Louis XVI who has other plans for the reluctant courtier. The third installment in the Epic Revolutionary saga, The Marquis, the Escape, and the Fox covers events from April 1776 to April 1777.
