In the challenging wilderness of colonial Massachusetts, Martha Allen serves in her cousin’s household, taking charge and locking wills with everyone. Thomas Carrier works for the family, renowned for his immense strength and size, and harbors a mysterious past. The two initiate a courtship that aligns with their independent natures, with Thomas gradually revealing his involvement in the English Civil War. However, in the rugged new world they inhabit, danger is ever-present, whether from the assassins dispatched from London to eliminate the executioner of Charles I or the wolves-manifested in various forms-lurking for blood. Simultaneously a love story and a tale of courage, The Traitor’s Wife affirms Kathleen Kent’s skill in crafting compelling narratives against the dramatic backdrop of America’s earliest days.
