On the eve of an arranged marriage to a woman he doesn't love, nineteen-year-old Jacob Rappaport flees home to join the Union army and the fight against slavery. But his commanding officers soon discover that he is the scion of a wealthy ? and well-connected ? Jewish family, and recruit him for a harrowing mission: one that involves murdering his own uncle. On his return Jacob is given another, even more dangerous assignment: he must infiltrate a spy ring run by the beautiful Levy sisters. This time his mission is not to murder, but to marry one of the spies ? the gifted, enigmatic Eugenia. But when he falls in love with the very woman he has been ordered to betray, Jacob finds himself agonisingly compromised, forced to choose between his deepest beliefs and his personal happiness.
