1862: The Union holds Baltimore, but this city, with its southern attitudes and divided sentiments, is a port of enormous potential value to the Confederate cause. Defending Baltimore is a man disdainfully called the "Black German." Branden Rolfe, a European revolutionary, fled the oppression of his home in Austria and now serves freedom as the city's Union Provost Marshal. When Rolfe learns of the Sons of Liberty, a secret group of secessionists determined to capture Baltimore, he fears their success could alter the course of the conflict. The war has already separated him from his adopted children and the woman he has learned to love. Now, the threat of the Sons, led by the clever, dedicated Langdon Everett, becomes a thorn in his side as the group gains supporters and amasses a considerable cache of weaponry and explosives. Rolfe feels official pressure and a personal need to stop them at all costs, even to the point of risking the life of his love, who volunteers for dangerous duty undercover. . . Eden Farnswood comes to the Sons through her new friend, Holly DeMornay, the cousin of their leader. Appalled by the terrible human cost of war, young Mrs. Farswood is a widow who set out to become a nurse but has found a new mission in the Sons of Liberty. Torn by bitter memories and divided loyalties, Eden finds it too painful . . . and too dangerous . . . to share her secrets with anyone, not even Holly, her closest friend. As Rolfe's web of spies closes in on the Sons of Liberty and Langdon Everett, the fates of Baltimore and of Eden Farnswood hang in the balance. In Baltimore, where North and South meet, love and war conspire so that, win or lose, there will be a terrible cost either in lives or by the betrayal of the human heart.

This Stunning Novel is set near the end of the Civil War in the mountainous farm country of North Carolina—bordering on the Hiwassee River—a region where neighbor turned on neighbor and helpless families were preyed on by deserters from both armies and by violent gangs pretending to be military units. Madison Curtis and his wife Sarah live on a plantation that lies in the path of a gang of Union partisans, led by a vicious bushwhacker named Bridgeman. The Curtises are hiding their eldest son Andy, who was wounded in the Confederate Army. They risk torture and death to protect him from Bridgeman. We meet also the Curtis's younger sons, Jack and Howell, who are caught up in the great battle of Chickamauga, far away in Georgia, and we are offered a unique glimpse of war as the common soldier saw it—confusing, monotonous and terrifying by turns and without any discernible meaning. There too is the rebel soldier Oliver Price, a poor kindly shoemaker who hardly ever met a black man, much less owned one, but fought on to the end for his home, long after many others with much more at stake had lost heart and quit. This is a perfect little gem of a novel: beautifully written, historically accurate and shedding light on a little-known corner of the Civil War behind the lines of the Border South. Once read, it will never be forgotten.

Having survived the bloody Battle of New Orleans and the loss of their ironclad Yazoo River, captain Samuel Bowater, engineer Hieronymus Taylor, and the survivors of their crew are given new orders -- take command of an ironclad warship being built in Memphis, Tennessee. Bowater and his men take passage upriver from "Mississippi" Mike Sullivan, one of the wild, undisciplined captains of the River Defense Squadron, only to find, on their arrival, that their ship is not even half built and the enemy is closing fast. Against their better judgment, Bowater and crew join forces with the mercurial Sullivan on board his ad hoc river gunship the General Page. Outnumbered and outgunned, the Confederates once again fling themselves bravely at the overwhelming power of the Yankee invaders. The deadly back-and-forth fight along the Mississippi ends at last in the massive naval battle of Memphis, and the near-suicidal attempt by the Confederates to hold back the Northern flood. Filled with wild characters and heart-pounding action, and set against the bold backdrop of the Civil War, Thieves of Mercy is a worthy successor to the W. Y. Boyd Award-winning novel Glory in the Name, the book Bernard Cornwell lauded as "by far, the best Civil War novel I've read."

Fields of Gold is a fast paced historical novel taking place during the time of the Civil War (1861-1865) in the United States between the North and the South. The story keeps the reader fully intrigued from beginning to end with its twists and turns regarding the intricate covert actions of a man who was born of the British aristocracy, but surrendered his title to live as a cultured gentleman and planter in the South. At the start of the war between the States, he pledges his honor to fight for the Yankees, but his superiors soon capitalized on the ease with which he is capable of maneuvering between the two warring factions. Talented in guerilla warfare, a unique assignment brings him an unusual responsibility, an assignment that often places him in even greater danger, but one that changes his entire life. Not only does it seriously alter his future, but it takes him back to the land of his birth, forcing him to locate and contest a dangerous killer, who has kidnaped and threatened to murder the woman he loves and his unborn son. The prologue begins during a siege in a small kingdom off the coast of the Mediterranean Sea where a young monarch is losing a battle. Taking his last stand in the castle, he discovers his beloved queen dead after bearing his twin daughters. He quickly orders his two most trusted men to travel to the United States with each royal child to save their lives and to deliver them to separate locations that are to be kept secret, one from the other. The story continues years later as the United States Civil War is in full swing. Garrett, arrives from a bloody encounter in the depths of a swamp where he realizes his losses were not only from one enemy but two; Confederate snipers and swamp fever. Overlooking the fact that he has been ordered to head back to the main force of Sherman's army, his immediate superior consigns him to handle a personal matter; the delivery of a young orphan to an aunt and uncle in Charleston. Grudgingly, he takes on what turns out to be more than a handful a highly difficult and rebellious child. A child who feels no compunction about turning him over to the enemy, for it also was a journey in which Garrett was honor bound to gather military information for the North, while at the same time being ordered to slow down the Rebels with counter attacks on their strongholds and subterfuge on their supply lines, utilizing whatever means were close at hand. The journey turns into a series of narrow escapes, discovery of a unique band of warriors, a new trusted alliance formed during a bloody battle, yet all ends for Garrett in an unusual and confounding surprise As with most honorable soldiering, especially during a civil confrontation, Garrett is forced to leave his own home unprotected, returning only briefly to quickly leave it again. In this unwilling act of abandonment, a predator of the war the kind who knows no allegiance to either the North or the South takes the opportunity to activate his personal motives against Garrett by hiding behind the guise of a marauder. This loosens an evil that sweeps the story into a breathless hair-raising chase frustrated by honor to duty, protecting the president of the United States, and an illusive love bound in a web of an unending mystery.

A riveting and compelling account of Nate's initial Civil War experience—its battles, romances and divided loyalties When Richmond landowner Washington Faulconer snatches young Nate Starbuck from the grip of a Yankee-hating mob, Nate is both grateful and awed by his idealistic rescuer. Turning his back forever on the life he left in Boston, Nate agrees to join the newly formed Faulconer's Legion, even though it means fighting against his native North. But Nate's dilemma is only one of many within the Legion. Faulconer's own son cannot bring himself to fight, while his daughter's cheating fiancee plots for control of the Faulconer family fortune. As they come together to march into battle, the men are prepared to start a war...but they aren't ready for how they—and the nation—will be forever changed by the oaths they have sworn for their beloved South.
