    About this ebook

    In Washington City in 1862, President Lincoln rallies the Union troops for the largest single campaign of the Civil War. And two sisters from Seneca Falls take their places among the players of history, sparked by the fires of conviction...

    As part of the new special intelligence force of the Treasury, Bronwyn Llyr finds herself undercover and behind the lines. Her sister Kathryn volunteers as a nurse for the Union Army. In the heart of enemy territory and in the thick of battle, the two sisters must solve a baffling mystery, and thwart a Rebel conspiracy that threatens both their lives-and the entire outcome of the war...

    • 4/5
      This book is founded on the Glynis Tryon series, but we don't see anything of Glynis here. Instead we see her two nieces, the intrepid Bronwen and the ladylike Katherine. Bronwen is a US Treasury agent who finds herself in the middle of a Confederate plot. More than once she has to run for her life in the book, and more than once she has to kill an enemy. Katherine is a war-time nurse and she is drawn into Bronwen's plot so finds that her life is in danger too. There is lots of excitement here, and the historical facts are great! I love this era and this time and I think Monfredo does a very good job of portraying the hits and misses in wartime United States. There's even a bit of romance in the book to make it interesting. The book leaves a lot of stuff up in the air, so that means I can't wait to read the next one "Brothers of Cain".
    • 3/5
      first in a trio that brings back many of Monfredo's characters from her "Seneca Falls" series. If you like Civil War history, this would be a good series to read.
    • 4/5
