The Tides of War 

 

COMMANDER RAFAEL SIMS: An Alabama born navy man destined for the cause, he plays two sides in a dangerous game...and with two remarkable women.

 

SARAH HAMMOND: The daughter of a prosperous shipping magnate, devoted to the pursuit of peace, her heart guides her into a top-secret mission ... and toward a perilous act of betrayal.

 

LOUISA LEE PHOENIX: A Lee of Kentucky, cousin to Robert E., she lives her life with reckless abandon—using her beauty, wits and passionate fire as a weapon in defense of her beloved homeland.

 

MAJOR ROBERT ANDERSON: Though sympathetic to the South, he is a man of unwavering principle—and determined to fulfill his sworn obligation to the Union...even if it pushes his nation into WAR.

​

AND

 

PRESIDENT JAMES BUCHANAN: Considered an inept, inadequate leader, he must hold together a disintegrating country. And with only weeks left in office he decides to make a stand-at a vulnerable garrison in Charleston harbor called Fort Sumter.
