SONS OF FIRE
ON THE EVE OF THE CIVIL WAR THREE BROTHERS FIND THEMSELVES DEADLY ENEMIES….
BROTHERS-IN-ARMS
On the eve of the Civil War the hardworking, hard-fighting Fenn family is caught in the middle of a bloody guerrilla war along the Missouri-Kansas border.
While Frank marries a pretty abolitionist and goes east to serve the Union cause, hotheaded Zachary joins the guerrilla chieftain William Quantrill and rides with such future outlaws as the Younger brothers and Frank and Jesse James. Patrick-who is unsure of his loyalties-heads for the Rockies in an attempt to escape the war, but finds there is no escape from his blood ties.
Meanwhile, their Missouri farm is burned to the ground and the rest of the family, led by their strong-willed sister, Caitlin, is left to fend for themselves in a ravaged land. Fate has taken them down different paths, but before the war comes to a close, the Fenns are destined for one last fiery reunion that will force them to choose between honor and blood.
