The Ride

by Kostya Kennedy

First published 2025

On April 18, 1775, Paul Revere mounts a borrowed horse in Boston. The silversmith and political operative has one night to complete his most dangerous mission yet. British troops are marching to crush the colonial rebellion, and someone must warn the scattered settlements before dawn. Revere has made eighteen previous rides carrying intelligence across New England, but tonight everything depends on speed and stealth. He is not alone in the darkness. Other riders gallop along different routes, part of a coordinated network racing against time. British patrols hunt them through the countryside. Capture means imprisonment or worse. Success means the colonies might survive to fight another day. As Revere pushes deeper into hostile territory, he carries more than just a warning. He carries the spark that will ignite the American Revolution.
