Sparrowhawk, Book Two: Hugh Kenrick

Book Two introduces the second young hero, Hugh Kenrick, a member of the British aristocracy. While he has all the advantages that his rank bestows on him – family, wealth, prestige, and an assured future – his quest to preserve his self identity, his liberty, and his independence clashes violently with the demands of his station. Ultimately, he will find a better home in colonial Virginia.
