A frontier youth amid rising conflict

Set on the Pennsylvania frontier in 1756, the novel places sixteen-year-old orphan Connor Hode in the widening conflict between France and England. His wilderness skills offer little preparation for the choices the turmoil brings, as questions of obedience, justice, and colonial rebellion enter his life. The story connects one young frontiersman’s dilemmas with the tensions that precede the American Revolution, framing freedom as a question with personal as well as political costs.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in historical fiction set in colonial America.
  • Readers curious about the period before the American Revolution and the French-English conflict on the frontier.
  • Those who enjoy stories centered on young protagonists facing questions of morality and loyalty.

Book overview

JULY 4, 2026 IS THE 250TH BIRTHDAY OF THE UNITED STATES

Before the United States becomes a nation, one orphaned frontier boy discovers what freedom will cost.
It is 1756 on the Pennsylvania frontier. At sixteen, orphaned Connor Hode possesses all the skills of a seasoned woodsman, but no amount of wilderness training can prepare him for what's coming. As tensions between France and England erupt into bloody conflict, and whispers of colonial rebellion begin to spread, Connor finds himself caught between impossible choices. Morality or obedience. Sedition or justice.

In a land where the greed of kings threatens to devour everything, one young frontiersman must discover what freedom truly costs. 1756: Seeds of Freedom is a gripping historical adventure that illuminates the origins of the American Revolution through the eyes of a young man forged in fire.
