As rebellion ignites across the American colonies, a new kind of warrior takes to the seas: the Yankee privateer. Fast, daring, and hungry for prize money, they strike at British commerce with cannon and cutlass, risking everything for glory - and profit. At the forefront stand the Markham brothers: Jehu, Josiah, and Malachi, New England seamen bound by blood, ambition, and a shared stake in a dangerous enterprise.
Their sleek vessels prowl the Caribbean, hunting merchantmen, outwitting Royal Navy patrols, and turning war into opportunity. But privateering is no gentleman's game. With rival captains, shifting loyalties, and the ever-present threat of British retaliation, every prize could be their last, and every victory brings them deeper into a conflict that will decide the fate of a nation. From the heat of Caribbean harbours to the thunder of battle at sea, To Glory Arise is a vivid, action-packed tale of courage, rivalry, and the birth of American seapower.
