The Civil War was ending as Eugenia Leigh Woolum stood atop the staircase in her home in South Carolina. She was soon to become Mrs. Anson Miller—an officer in the hated Union army. She would say good-bye to all she had known as the pampered heiress to a magnificent plantation to begin a new life in a country shattered by bitterness and anger.
Intrigue will follow the young couple as a small child becomes a pawn in the struggle for land even as Anson leads his troops into the final battles of the war, and Eugenia wants only to hear once again the Nightbird sing.
