For seventeen years, Ty Mattson never knew if his father survived the Mexican War. But when he receives news that his father is alive—and he's joined the Confederate forces of General John Morgan—Ty leaves home to enlist with Morgan's Raiders.
Owen Mattson turns out to be everything Ty imagined he would be: a good man, a true mentor, a great soldier. But a Confederate assassin's bullets nearly divide father and son yet again.
From the blood-soaked chaos of Morgan's devastating defeat at Buffington Island to the harsh brutality of a Union prison, Ty Mattson will do whatever it takes to fight and survive.
For his father. For the love of a beautiful woman. For the life and the land he treasures.
