From the award-winning author of Under a War-Torn Sky comes a gripping Civil War novel with a pleasing dose of romance and a compelling view of both sides of the conflict. With a nation and a heart divided, Annie Sinclair must find the strength to choose her own course. Her story, based on that of the Confederate spies Laura Ratcliffe and Antonia Ford, will have teen hearts completely engaged in history.
