THE REPUBLIC REBORN

Dispatches

The Hidden Blade at Brandywine

Rachel Cromwell fights in disguise and rescues the man she swore to stand behind.

Rachel Cromwell cuts her hair, takes her brother’s uniform, and joins the fighting without Eli’s knowledge.

Common Resolve places her at Brandywine, where she rescues the wounded Eli. Her words after the rescue became one of the archive’s favorite lines: “I swore to stand behind you. I just never said how far behind.”

Brandywine is a historical battle; Rachel’s and Eli’s roles in it are fictional portrayals.
