What Is The Rebels About?

The premise of The Rebels without spoilers.

The sequel to The Bastard picks up Philip Kent’s story—an illegitimate son of an English noble who has abandoned his aristocratic claim to serve as a Continental soldier in the fight for American independence. He allies with a Southern aristocrat and his down‑to‑earth companion, together working to foil a conspiracy to assassinate George Washington. (Episodes 3–4 of the Kent Chronicles miniseries.)
