Where the Roads End

Synopsis

America, 1858.

Raised as the adopted son of General Nathaniel Hawthorne, a celebrated military commander descended from British nobility, Lucian Hawthorne has spent his entire life living beneath the weight of a name that was never truly his. Groomed to inherit his father's legacy, every step of his future has already been decided-from the life he must lead to the woman he is expected to marry.

Everything changes the day he meets Kael Heredia.

A gifted Gypsy artist traveling across America with his family's caravan, Kael belongs to a world that values freedom above wealth, tradition above status, and loyalty above blood. Their lives were never meant to intersect.

Their first meeting is brief.

Their second changes everything.

When Kael unexpectedly appears as a guest at one of General Hawthorne's grandest balls, a single glance is enough for Nathaniel to realize that what binds the two young men is far more dangerous than simple curiosity.

As whispers of war begin to divide a nation and old prejudices tighten their grip, Lucian and Kael find themselves caught between love and duty, freedom and family, truth and sacrifice.

Some secrets can destroy a family.

Some wars can divide a country.

And some loves are powerful enough to challenge them both.
