A sweeping tale of courage, loyalty, and the forging of the American frontier.

In Journeyman: Into the Smoke, Colonel Will Yelverton returns in a riveting new chapter of action, honor, and transformation in the closing days of the Revolutionary War.

As Lord Cornwallis pushes north, Will races through the war-torn landscape of Virginia clashing with Banastre Tarleton, rescuing Thomas Jefferson, and bearing critical dispatches to Washington and Lafayette on the eve of Yorktown. Promoted to full colonel, Will leads the reinforced Carolina Light Battalion into the pivotal Battle of the Hook, sealing Cornwallis’s fate and accepting the surrender of his old foe.

But peace brings new trials.

From the revolution's battlefields to the lawless wilds of North Carolina, Will is called to defend the vulnerable against Loyalist marauders like David Fanning. His quest to bring Fanning to justice leads to another journey and a near disaster.

With his wife, Abby, their children, and loyal friend Charles Cuthbert at his side, Will journeys west to claim over 30,000 acres in Tennessee a land of promise, conflict, and unknown dangers. On the banks of the Cumberland River, as settlers face unrest and rising violence, Will and Cuth ride once more forging alliances, founding a legacy, and crossing paths with the powerful Chickamauga war chief, Dragging Canoe.

For readers of historical fiction who love epic adventure, real-world history, and unforgettable characters, Journeyman: Into the Smoke delivers a stirring portrait of a patriot’s journey from reluctant war hero to frontier founder.
