Samuel Shannon Keys

War demands loyalty.
His past demands revenge.
Redemption may be the only way to survive. Calloused by life and hardened by war, Samuel determined years ago that he would always be the most powerful man in any situation. Famous for his precision with a rifle, he joins the ranks of Rush's Riflemen, commissioned by General Washington for a mission that, if successful, could turn the tide of the war. When Samuel finds himself in a medical tent, about to lose his leg, he is reunited with the man who saved him from a brutal death only weeks before. The man's prayer for a miracle is answered when Samuel awakens to find his leg still intact. The only problem is Samuel doesn't believe in God or his supposed miracles. When the stranger reveals his identity to Samuel, everything changes. Suddenly, the control Samuel has had over his life begins to unravel, and he finds himself at the mercy of others, a place he swore he would never be again. When his life intersects with the gentle but passionate Bethany, who claims to have received a miracle of healing too, he must wrestle with everything he thought he knew to be true. What he doesn't know is that the past he has been running from, is about to catch up with him. Then, he must choose. Will he extract the revenge he deserves, or will redemption arise from the most unlikely place?
