THE TAVERN AT KING’S ARMS

In occupied New York, one woman’s silence may cost innocent men their lives. New York City, 1777. Margaret Bellamy has survived the British occupation by keeping her tavern open, her opinions hidden, and her ears sharper than any officer suspects. At the King’s Arms, redcoat officers, Loyalist merchants, desperate civilians, and half-starved prisoners all pass through her door—and Margaret has learned that a woman serving ale is often treated as invisible. But when a fevered prisoner slips her a warning and a missing man’s name appears in her tavern ledger, Margaret realizes the private room of the King’s Arms is hiding more than drunken secrets. Prisoners marked for exchange are vanishing. False names are being written into official records. A blue ribbon in Margaret’s ledger may be the only clue tying a powerful quartermaster to a deadly scheme. Years ago, Margaret heard a warning and stayed silent. This time, silence may become its own kind of betrayal. With her family, her tavern, and her own name at risk, Margaret must decide whether survival is enough—or whether God has placed the truth in her hearing for a reason. The Tavern at King’s Arms is a gripping Christian historical suspense novel set during the American Revolution, perfect for readers who love courageous women, moral secrets, wartime danger, clean historical fiction, and stories of faith under pressure.
