Summary: In the 1860s, Cain's life changed.


Cain was drawn to conflict. It was natural as breathing to seek war and wade in the blood of slaughter; but something was different this time. He felt it, the slightest of touches, a mere tickle against the thickness of his skin.

Righteousness.

This was a rare thing, this civil war – a just war. Brother fought brother in a way he found so heart-wrenchingly familiar, but their blood soaking the soil repulsed him.

Then he met a woman whose level gaze pierced his soul, and he fell in love for the first time.

The howls of the Mark went unheeded.
