Lance B Wilkins has long been a student of American history, with a particular interest in the people and events that shaped the founding of the United States.

​

His Fires of Freedom trilogy brings the American Revolution to life through the experiences of ordinary people caught up in extraordinary circumstances.

​

Beginning in Massachusetts in 1775, the novels follow Jacob Greyson, his brother Jackson, and a remarkable young woman named Destiny as their lives become intertwined with the struggle for American independence.

​

While the great events of the Revolution provide the historical setting, Wilkins is equally interested in the personal stories behind those events—the ambitions, relationships, loyalties, and sacrifices of people whose lives were forever changed by war.

​

The trilogy includes Jacob's Destiny, Caught in the Crossfire, and To Cross A River.
