Tidewater Virginia, 1781

She has everything at stake. Ravaged by the cruelties of war, Clarice Wade struggles to rebuild her life and save her husband's ancestral estate, Farview. Her husband, Andrew, maimed in battle in both body and soul, finds comfort only in a bottle. Their future seems bleak until Andrew's wartime friend, Niall McLane, arrives to help, igniting a hopeful new bond with Clarice that could change everything for the better.

He has nothing left to lose. Niall McLane believes he has endured the worst that could happen to any man, but after leaving the battlefield for the crop fields of Farview, he finds his troubles are just beginning. As a series of brutal murders unfolds around him, all bearing the marks of his formidable skills, his dark reputation makes him the prime suspect. To stop the bloodshed, Niall must confront his past and a powerful killer whose next victim might be the woman he loves.
