Rufus Valasay awakens with no memory, yet he instinctively trusts the stranger who offers him a place to stay. Her name is Fabia Fair, and her kindness and beauty stir a hunger he can't ignore. He is no ordinary mortal, and someone will do anything to get to him and his kind. But Rufus will not make the same mistake twice, or let go of his only reason to believe.
During the Revolutionary War, Rufus Putnam served as the Continental Army's chief military engineer. As designer and supervisor of the construction of major fortifications, his contribution helped American forces drive the British Army from Boston and protect the Hudson River. Several years after the War, Putnam personally founded the first permanent American settlement in the Northwest Territory at Marietta, Ohio. Putnam's influence and vote prevented the introduction of slavery in Ohio, leading the way for Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin to enter the U.S. as free states. This first full-length biography in more than 130 years covers his wartime service and long public career.
