James Goldby is on the wrong side of the Civil War. Born into a long line of Georgia farmers, he's never lived without slaves. He enlists in the Confederate militia because everyone else tells him it's the right thing to do. But is it?
Josephine "Josie" Sherman is daughter to a well off, honest, and kind merchant. Unable to join the war as a soldier, she signs up as a volunteer Union nurse to serve her country as best she can. With a deep-seated hatred for "rebs," she wonders how God could ever be merciful to such men.
James and Josie meet when James is left hurt, hungry, and helpless in enemy territory. When the lines between grey and blue are stripped away, will they be able to find common ground? Or will a battlefield forever stretch between them?

swan song | mattheo riddle
She was Ravenclaw's golden girl. He was the Dark Lord's son. In the winter of their sixth year, Delilah Vale and Mattheo Riddle find themselves entangled in a secret plan - one that could unravel the war from within. Forced into an uneasy alliance, they agree to betray the bloodlines that raised them, and each other, in order to bring Voldemort to his knees. As snow falls softly over the castle grounds, Hogwarts becomes a quiet battlefield of glances, lies, and burning letters. Behind every whispered spell and shadowed corridor, they are watched - by enemies, by fate, and by the ghosts of who they used to be. But in the space between love and treason, something softer begins to bloom. Something neither of them expected. And as the war draws closer, so does the final choice: loyalty or love, legacy or freedom. Because every swan sings once. And this is theirs. A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers tale of forbidden magic, fractured bloodlines, and the kind of love that could bring an empire to its knees. Disclaimer: I do not own any characters apart from Delilah Vale, Evangeline Vale, Alaric Vale, Seraphine Montrose and Claribel Fairchild.Concluida
