Description
Set against the turbulent backdrop of the American Civil War, Railroad is a sweeping historical novel of courage, divided loyalties, and the relentless pursuit of freedom.
In the shadowed forests of the South, Moses Jordan flees a life of bondage, guided by the secretive and perilous network known as the Underground Railroad. Among those risking everything to help him is Clara LeBlanc, the daughter of a plantation owner, living a dangerous double life as a station master. Bound by duty, family, and love, Clara is caught between two worlds that are rapidly tearing themselves apart.
As war erupts, loyalties fracture. Clara's brothers ride to fight for the Confederacy, while Lance McLeod-soldier, conductor, and the man she loves-returns north to serve the Union. Moses, now a free man, joins the fight for his own future. Across battlefields, plantations, and hidden routes to freedom, their lives remain intertwined as the cost of war mounts and the old world burns.
Pursued by the ruthless overseer Joshua DeCroix and shadowed by the ever-present threat of betrayal, the characters must navigate a landscape where survival is never guaranteed and every choice carries consequence.
Rich in historical detail and grounded in the harsh realities of the era, Railroad is a powerful story of resilience, sacrifice, and the enduring human spirit in the face of injustice. It is a journey through one of history's most defining conflicts-and a testament to those who risked everything to change it.
