Synopsis

The Hag Rider is a gripping work of historical fiction, told in the vivid voice of a young soldier’s Civil War memoir. Fifteen-year-old Jack Benson, swept into the ranks of the Confederate cavalry, recounts his harrowing journey from boyhood to manhood through the trials and tribulations of army life and along shadowy back roads of the American South.
But Jack's tale is no ordinary soldier’s story. Haunting his every step is Vanita, an enigmatic old witch bound by a mysterious oath to protect him. Though unseen by most, her spectral influence weaves through Jack’s fate, guiding him through skirmishes, capture, and escape with uncanny precision. As bullets fly and loyalties shift, Jack must wrestle not only with the horrors of war but with the unsettling question of who, or what, is really keeping him alive.
Blending the brutal realism of war with a chilling thread of Southern gothic magic, The Hag Rider is a spellbinding coming-of-age saga that rides a razor’s edge between history and the supernatural.

À propos de l'auteur

Thomas Fenske is a North Carolina-based storyteller with deep Texas roots. A lifelong road-tripper and adventurer, he's chased chicken-fried steaks, barbeque, and Tex-Mex across endless highways, canoed the Guadalupe's rapids, hiked West Texas mountains and rafted the Rio Grande-ever in pursuit of the next great slice of life. When he's not crafting adventure/mysteries or delving into family histories for fiction fodder, he's wrangling a beagle and a houseful of rescue cats alongside his wife, Gretchen-proving that fierce tales and full hearts go hand in hand.
