Summary
Set in 19th-century America, The Cost of Freedom follows Elias Ward, a disillusioned revolutionary who once believed words could remake the world. As the nation fractures over slavery and rebellion, Elias is drawn back into a struggle that blurs the line between justice and survival. Through loyalty, betrayal, and quiet redemption, he confronts the haunting truth that liberty demands a price far greater than ideals. Told in raw, reflective prose, this is a story of conviction undone by experience — and a man learning what freedom truly means.
