What would you sacrifice for freedom? As America approaches its 250th anniversary, Freedom's Cost is the perfect read to honor the birth of our nation—by stepping into the shoes of the man who risked everything to secure it. This gripping work of scripted historical fiction follows the true, harrowing journey of Benjamin Tallmadge, the man George Washington entrusted to organize and lead the Culper Spy Ring—the most successful intelligence network of the American Revolution. Through Tallmadge's eyes, readers are thrust into the dangerous shadow war waged beyond the battlefield, where coded letters, midnight rides, and perilous choices determined the fate of independence. But liberty carried a heavy burden. Tallmadge begins as an idealistic schoolteacher, only to be hardened by betrayal, loss, and the crushing responsibility of espionage. His evolution reveals the hidden costs of America's fight for freedom—not just in blood and sacrifice, but in the emotional toll that reshaped him forever. Drawing from Tallmadge's own memoir and extensive primary research, Freedom's Cost brings history alive in a deeply human way. It captures not only the intrigue of spycraft and the shocking devastation of Benedict Arnold's treason, but also the raw inner battles of a man torn between loyalty, duty, and survival. Both heart-pounding and heartbreaking, this book immerses readers in the psychological and moral complexities of revolution, showing that independence was not inevitable—it was earned through unimaginable choices made by ordinary men and women determined to be free. Freedom's Cost is more than history retold—it is history felt. A timely, unforgettable story for anyone seeking to understand the true price of liberty as we celebrate America's 250th year.
