Ruby Roland, the Girl Spy; or, Simon Kenton's Protege

Set against the rugged frontier of early Kentucky, the tale opens with a lone scout slipping silently across a summer‑shrunken Kentucky River, his eyes scanning the opposite bank for any sign of danger. The wilderness is alive with the rustle of leaves, the chatter of a solitary squirrel, and the ever‑present threat of hidden foes. Into this world steps Ruby Roland, a quick‑witted young woman whose daring spirit leads her to become the trusted protégé of the legendary frontiersman Simon Kenton.

Ruby’s keen mind and fearless heart thrust her into a web of espionage and survival, where she must blend into both settler camps and Native territories to gather crucial information. Along the way she encounters treacherous terrain, uneasy alliances, and the constant challenge of keeping her true purpose concealed. Listeners will be swept up in her clever maneuvers, the vivid frontier landscape, and the tension of a world where every step could mean life or death.
