Remains Brave {New War Series Book 1} by AIMorgan

Where there's a will there's a way, and then there's Rem. A girl who lost it all after writing a book. Her writing style persuaded different groups to think and believe different things about her beliefs. The odd way her words touched the nation brought unity, which in turn made her the most revered woman in the United States. So much so that people sought her out to be the leader of the rebellion. Just shy of her twenty-first birthday, the once crazy college student leads a group of rebels through dangerous territory in an effort to escape to safer ground, only to face mountains of hardship in between. As the rebellion turns to full civil war, Rem tries her best to hold onto the last possession of her past life that she has, while juggling the relationships she builds on her journey. War changes every participant, and that's no exception for the Rebel princess.

Daughter of the Rebellion by kanne53

After her father and brother were killed in the failed rebellion, Cecily never imagined that things could get worse. But one night, soldiers storm her small village and show her how wrong she was. As part of their punishment for daring to rise against the king, soldiers are permitted to ransack the rebel villages, destroying or taking whatever they want, and killing or capturing whoever they want. In a split second, Cecily's world is turned upside down as she is ripped away from her family and the only life she's ever known. She has no idea where she's headed or what will happen to her once she arrives, and she's terrified of finding out. Will she even survive? Did her family survive when they tried to defend her? Will she ever see them again if they're all lucky enough to stay alive? One man will determine her fate and if he's anything like the others, Cecily is positive that will mean nothing good for her. (Companion story to Keira's Fire)

She must make the biggest decision in her short life: Does she join her brother and nurse those in need, or does she live comfortably in the peace of her own home? Note: The battles and commanders are real events and people. I tried to be as accurate as possible with events of battles. Other than those, this is a completely original story. Also, the picture above is an illustration of the attack on Fort Sumter April 12, 1861; beginning of one of the bloodiest wars in American history, if not the bloodiest.
