Seth is wounded in battle, and when Caleb accompanies him home he meets the Larkin family, including Seth's saucy younger sister, Elizabeth. She wants nothing more than to join the fight. Leaving Seth to recuperate, Caleb is kidnapped by a loyalist group headed up by the famous Swamp Fox, Francis Marion. The goal of his ragged band is to steal British weapons in Charleston Harbor and destroy a bridge vital to the Red Coats. Caleb plays a vital part in this mission. Caleb and Seth meet up again, and after months of skirmishes with the enemy, the two wind up in a decisive battle against the notorious Lieutenant Banestre Tarlton -Bloody Ban.

With the war ending, Caleb must make a decision to stay in service to his country or return to his farm. He's torn between the two young women in his life, but when he makes his decision, he knows it is right, and what he has wanted all along.
