At the beginning of the American Civil War, communities near the border between North and South divide before armies have established clear fronts. Families, neighbours and former friends are required to declare loyalty, while rumours of spies and armed irregulars make neutrality increasingly impossible.
The novel follows characters pulled into the conflict by local violence and political allegiance rather than formal military ambition. As the first campaigns begin, private choices become acts of treason to one side or the other. The dawn of rebellion is shown through people who do not yet understand how long the war will last or how completely it will transform them.
