Homeward

In the smoldering aftermath of the Civil War, Confederate Captain Jonah Walker wants only one thing: to return home to Virginia. But home is over a thousand miles away, and the road there is no longer a road--it's a crucible.

With a pistol at his side and a Bible in his pack, Jonah sets off across a war-torn land teeming with ghosts, deserters, bounty hunters, and worse. From the dusty plains of Texas to the mist-shrouded hollers of Appalachia, Jonah faces trials that test not only his strength, but his soul-encountering false prophets, ancient evils, and a ruthless admiral who would see him dead before he reaches his wife and son.

"Homeward" is a gritty retelling of Homer's "Odyssey" rooted firmly in American soil. It's tale of endurance, repentance, and the long, bloody road to redemption. In a land still torn by brother against brother, will Jonah ever find his way home--or has the war already claimed him for good?
