The Saga of the Four Kings Scott Campbell Brown

In the winter of 1778, four young men shiver in the cold at Valley Forge. They are officers in Washington's army, and their revolution is faring no better than the weather. Their names are unknown but will soon be familiar to everyone: Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, John Marshall, and James Monroe.

In The Saga of the Four Kings: Book One, Scott Campbell Brown blends fact and fiction to create a fascinating portrait of these four founding fathers. He chronicles their careers, ambitions, marriages, and blood feuds, weaving together aspects of their lives unfamiliar to the average reader. In the process, he transforms the four men from dry historical figures into complex and interesting human beings.

Along with their personal stories, he paints a picture of an emerging nation under the leadership of George Washington. Washington's relationship with the four men plays a large role in their fortunes, and the author skillfully sketches the controversies of the time that influenced and shaped the future of the young nation. Part history, part political intrigue, and part biographical drama, this book is the first volume in a gripping trilogy that breathes life into the story of America's formative years.
