Description

Promoted to officer in the Confederate Army, Nathaniel Starbuck is thrust into the brutal Second Battle of Bull Run, where battlefield chaos and divided loyalties test his courage and convictions. As the Union invasion gathers force, Starbuck’s growing rift with the powerful Faulconer threatens to become as dangerous as the enemy advancing across Virginia. Meanwhile, a daring Union cavalry unit led by a fellow Southerner pursues its own mission—one entangled with Starbuck’s family and the symbolic prize of a Confederate battle flag. Combining meticulously rendered Civil War combat with political intrigue, moral conflict, and vivid historical detail, this gripping installment captures the uncertainty and savagery of a nation at war.
