Freedom is something that Rebecca has never known, but for which she yearns with all her being - so much so that she's willing to risk everything to leave her master and his plantation behind. But her eagerness is tempered when her brother insists that she go without him. Determined that neither of them should die in slavery, she leaves behind a promise that she will return for him one day, whatever it takes, but to do so will be a dangerous and frightful endeavor. Meanwhile, the issue of slavery itself has led the nation to become the most divided it has ever been as Alabama and ten other Southern states declare secession from the Union. Most Alabamians are glad of this, but it disgusts Daniel Ironwood to his core. He sees the secession of his state as nothing less than a betrayal of the nation his grandfather fought and bled to help create. Knowing his own neighbors and friends will brand him a traitor, he makes a drastic choice - to leave his farm in Alabama, and join the Union Army to help put down this rebellion. Thus do loyalty and liberty send two very different souls on paths that will change their lives forever. And when those paths intersect, it will lead them to a place that neither could have predicted - but only if they can both survive.
