Following the defeat of Confederate forces at Chattanooga, the battered Rebel army, including a bitter Cory Brannon, retreats slowly toward Atlanta. A large Union army led by General William Sherman is marching to the coastal city of Savannah, laying waste to the territory through which it passes. Behind enemy lines on the Brannon family farm, Henry has been removed as sheriff, and to everyone’s surprise, Cordelia is courted by a Union officer, a Yankee she finds herself unable to hate. As Cory is trapped in Savannah, surrounded by Sherman’s marauding hordes, despair grips the Confederacy. Fractured and defeated at every turn, the nation asks itself how much longer it can continue to fight.

“Robust, detail rich, and well-paced…Reasoner’s battle narrative provides equal parts pathos and accuracy.”
“Fraught with passion, tension, and tenderness.”
“We recommend these books.”
“Contains the usual trappings (gallant Southern heroes, brave women, secret missions, and bloody battles) that readers have come to expect.”
" A little shorter than some of the others in the series, but brings back some of the characters we haven't heard from in awhile and wondered where they were (Pie & Rachel, Lucille & the Carters). "
