After being discovered by Sam Barlow, the one man she would do anything to keep her secret from, Serena Stark must finally face the consequences of her rash decision to dress as a man and fight for the Union Army. Now her relationship with him is on shaky ground, and she can only hope that he will choose not to tell anyone else what she has done for fear of what it will do to her reputation, as well as how it will affect her future. While her personal life is filled with turmoil and conflict, so too is the deeply divided war-ravaged country for which she fights. As the Civil War rages on with no end in sight, Serena must endure the Battle of Gettysburg, the constant dangerous threat of Mosby’s Raiders, and a new enemy in Jack Monroe, a soldier who fights in the same company but is far from a friendly ally. Serena must be on her guard and keep her wits about her if she hopes to survive. But even harder than preserving her life, will be protecting her heart.
After experiencing the perils of fighting as a soldier in the Civil War, Serena Barlow now faces something far more frightening. She must return to the beginning—a home she did her best to leave behind. Without Sam she is left to confront the past: the painful memories of Caleb’s loss, a mother she hardly knows, a father whom she has deceived sorely, and, worse yet, a father-in-law who knows her secret. Impending motherhood overwhelms her even more, and without Sam at her side, she hardly knows who she is anymore. When word comes that Sam has been captured and is wasting away in the squalid conditions of Libby Prison, Serena can wait no more. She decides she must take action to save him, and leaving everything dear to her behind, she makes her way to the capital of the Confederacy—Richmond, Virginia. Deep within enemy territory, Serena begins to wonder how far she will go to save the man she loves. Time is running out for Sam. Can she find a way to rescue him before it’s too late?
Serena Stark is a farmer’s daughter who has never been past the limits of her small town, never seen or done anything remarkable in her life. After the death of her older brother Caleb, she feels as though she is beginning to disappear completely. When Caleb's best friend Sam, who she's secretly loved from afar for years, joins up to fight for the Union in the war, Serena can’t bear the thought of losing him as well. One night, in a desperate and rash decision, Serena cuts her hair, dresses in Caleb’s old clothes, and strikes off to join up too. Now she is Frank Stark fighting with the Army of the Potomac as it heads for Confederate territory. While she must face peril on the battlefield and the discomforts of army life, her greatest fear is discovery.
