About this series
A Union city is in danger of being wiped off the map.
After an anthrax attack terrorized the Union's populace, Rook and Thorn have been busy attempting to figure out what the terrorist plan of Promised Land really means. The anthrax attack was merely the opening salvo. What's next?
Now Rook and Thorn learn that the German Empire has created a bomb that can destroy entire cities, and that Confederacy president Bradenton has one and has plans to use it. Multiple Union cities have been targeted for terrorist attack, but the bomb can only be sent to one. How can Rook and Thorn discover which Union city is Bradenton's main target, then find it, and defuse it in time? Old friends stand beside them while new enemies block their path toward saving the Union from not only its enemies, but itself.
The fifth book in the saga of Rook and Thorn brings more fast-paced action and engaging characters to this history of an alternate United States, and ties up their story in a rip-roaring fashion.

- Perdition: The New Confederacy, #1
1
The Union ambassador is missing. More than a hundred years after the McClellan-Davis Accords ended the Civil War, tensions are still high between the Union and the Confederacy. But recent trade agreements and personnel exchanges have made both sides hope that good relations can be restored. That is, until the Union ambassador vanishes one night from the embassy in Perdition. Two agents are sent to investigate his disappearance. Delilah Thorn, a video surveillance analyst with zero field experience, has no idea why she's been sent on this operation, but her unshakeable faith in the Union convinces her that she must somehow have the right skills for the job. Her new partner, Dane Rook, is a seasoned veteran with a mysterious background—and a whole lot of skepticism about what their assignment entails. They've barely crossed into the Confederacy when the whole mission goes to hell. Separated, trapped in a hostile nation with no weapons or supplies, they slowly learn a terrible secret about the government just across their own border. Their lives depend on separating friend from foe and discovering the limits of their own endurance. Can they figure out not only how to survive, but also how to become agents of change in a brutal society that the world has left behind?
- Purgatory: The New Confederacy, #2

Getting away from the farm is all Hollis Fairfield can think about. But when the only job she can find is doing laundry at Camp Pinewood, she becomes a witness to horrific events she never dreamed could be real. Powerless to change anything, she despairs until her attention is snared by a young girl whom she vows to help. But what can one woman do when so much stands against her? Delilah Thorn is stuck in Atlanta engaged in diplomatic work and is desperate to get back into the field. She's had no word from her fellow agents for weeks and there's nothing she can do for them from afar. Now a prominent Confederate family is looking for assistance, and wants her to find their missing daughter. Thorn will have to go against orders to sneak back into enemy territory on a mission of mercy, unsanctioned by superiors and worth a court martial, even if she succeeds. Both women will have to face their deepest fears and come together in an act that will help forge the fate of nations.

Baton Rouge is the most alien place agent Delilah Thorn has ever been. Everything from the local cuisine to the alligators to the French-speaking populace works to keep her off-balance. Thorn is surrounded by potential enemies, a religion she does not understand, and deceit. Can she succeed in sorting through the conflicting information to understand why Louisiana has begun closing its death camps and has started to forge its own way independent of the rest of the Confederacy? Dane Rook has finally been cleared to go into the field full-time. Though it means time away from his personal life, he is excited to get back to what he does best, this time in a place he's never before visited: Louisiana. He is to be back-up to his old partner, Delilah Thorn. But forces conspire to keep them apart and his mission appears to be over before it even begins. The bayous hold many secrets, and their waters are deep and dark. Can Rook find Thorn, and together, can they determine who is friend, who is foe, and do their part to support those trying to bring Louisiana out of the darkness?

The first small gestures of rapprochement between the Union and the Free States brings not only hope for the future, but a new terror that no one had quite imagined. Disease attacks those at a governmental function, and those who have succumbed have only a small chance of survival. Can Rook and Thorn, partnered with agents from the Free States of America, get to the bottom of who is spreading disease and why before threats of plague and fire become more than mere hyperbole? Religion and politics swirl together to form a dangerous and explosive mixture from which no one may emerge unscathed.
