Lyric Taylor enjoys the hobby of Civil War reenacting, until an impulsive purchase thrusts her into 1862 Sharpsburg, Maryland, and severely alters her point-of-view. Alone in a war-torn world, a case of mistaken identity provides Lyric with security in the very appealing form of Garrett Ramsey.While Union and Confederate troops hurtle toward the single bloodiest day of the American Civil War, Lyric stands to lose the man she overcame lifetimes to find and a past, present and a future, decided for her long before time began.
