Description: The last time Gawain Harper saw Cumberland, Mississippi, he was ì heading off to fight for the newly formed Confederate States of ì America-driven not by the cause that motivated so many others, ì but by love. The father of his beloved, Morgan Rhea, refused to ì allow her to be courted by a man who would not take up arms to ì defend the South. So Gawain joined the Mississippi Infantry-and ì now, three nightmarish years later, he is coming home.

But postwar Cumberland is not the place Gawain so fondly ì remembered. An occupying force of Union soldiers keeps uneasy ì watch over the townspeople, including an erstwhile slave hunter ì and an albino gravedigger known as Old Hundred-and-Eleven. ì Meanwhile, a bloodthirsty former Confederate officer named King ì Solomon Gault is organizing a secret militia to drive the ì occupiers out and bring the entire region under his ruthless ì control. Before Gawain can marry Morgan and build their new life ì together, he must return to the world of violence and turmoil he ì has been so desperate to escape.
