The conclusion to the North and South Trilogy brings the battle between the Mains and Hazards—and Confederate and Union armies—to a satisfying end. The last days of the Civil War bring no peace for the Main and Hazard families. As the Mains' South smolders in the ruins of defeat, the Hazards' North pushes blindly for relentless industrial progress. Both the nation and the families' long-standing bond hover on the brink of destruction. In the series' epic conclusion, #1 New York Times–bestselling author John Jakes—"the godfather of historical novelists" (Los Angeles Times)—expertly blends personal conflict with historical events, crafting a haunting page-turner about America's constant change and unyielding hope.
