The First Civil War was the bloodiest conflict on American soil, but the second was even worse. When Texas seceded from the Union, Henry and Susannah Wilkins found themselves divided, like the rest of America. They fight, suffer and try to do everything they can to be together again. Henry's secret anti-terrorist squad is ambushed and they are forced to return through a blood-stained country, pursued by powerful and ruthless Directors who will stop at nothing to silence those who learned of the conspiracy that led to the war. From the snowy slopes of the Rocky Mountains to the mangrove swamps of the Everglades, Henry and Suzanne must protect their love, face difficult choices and see the true faces of those they trusted.
