Synopsis

Love, loyalty, and secrets collide in Civil War New York.

A vivid historical novel that follows a web of loyalties, personal rivalries, and hidden motives set against a city at war with itself. In Gotham at Grace Church and beyond, a rich cast moves through social life, military duty, and political tension. From embattled families to masked intrigues, the narrative blends personal stakes with the larger, unfolding conflict. Readers will glimpse how private desires test public duty, and how secrets can reshape fortunes in a city where loyalties shift like the wind.

• Meets the constraints of a turbulent era with sharp social observation and wartime atmosphere.
• Centers on relationships tested by trust, betrayal, and the pressures of loyalty to country and loved ones.
• Interweaves military life, societal circles, and the political landscape of the North during the Civil War.
• Offers a mix of drama, romance, and suspense through a cast of vividly drawn characters.

Ideal for readers who enjoy historical fiction that blends romance, intrigue, and a strong sense of place during a defining era.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A pril morning early A pril at that and New York in general, and Grace Church in particular, had been taken by surprise. Furs and heavy overcoats had been the vogue up to Friday night and, as noontide of Sunday drew near, and, with it, the climax of the Doctor ssermon, Brown, the big sexton, had thrown open the outer doors and was actually mopping his brow. Two young men stood chatting in subdued tone on the stone step at the main entrance when the heavy portals unexpectedly swung inward. Broadway at the moment was silent and well nigh deserted. None of the dozen bus lines profaned the Sabbath stillness of those days by jar of hoof or rumble of wheel upon the Russ pavement. Cabs and hansoms were unknown. -A policeman sauntered along the opposite sidewalk in front of the St. Denis.
