Rise Defiant
FROM THE DEEP SOUTH TO THE GREAT NORTHERN CITIES TO THE DIVIDED CAPITALS OF EUOPE AND MEXICO, THE WORLD HOLDS ITS BREATH AS AMERICAN PLUNGES INTO CIVIL WAR...
As a nation thunders toward war, a series of events is played out on a vast international stage...events that will cast the destiny of anew age. Bound together in the web of war, four people divided by hatred and hope embark on separate missions that could make the Confederacy an independent nation - or leave it in ruins. They are: Dorian Trozen, the white-skinned ex-slave, torn between two worlds and driven by his towering will to survive and thrive in the South he can never call home; Wyatt Crain, thrust by his success into a storm of international intrigue; Alexander Wallace, the Tidewater aristocrat whose search for his long-lost half brother would lead to a secret crusade to end slavery; and Grace MacHutcheon, the seductive Northern spy consumed by a dark, desperate passion for revenge.
Rise Defiant is the powerful epic of a nation caught between faith and honor, freedom and injustice, war and peace...an the unforgettable saga of the proud, passionate men and women who gave their last full measure of devotion in the struggle for love and liberty.
