The second book in the August Micholson Chronicles!
More Civil War supernatural steampunk suspense! Following the events of Fire on Iron (available from MonstraCity Press), Lieutenant Commander August Micholson, former captain of the Union ironclad U.S.S. James B. Eads, finds himself a changed man. In order to overcome the supernatural machinations of African sorcerer M’Lundowi, Micholson was forced to merge his consciousness with both that of the sorcerer and of an African fire demon. No longer fully human, Micholson must now clear his name — he is accused of being a traitor to the Union. He manages to escape a Union prison in an observation balloon. But escape is the easiest of his challenges. Now he must somehow restore the sanity of his wife Elizabeth, victim of a plague of madness. And he must figure out a way to stop General Lee’s invasion of Pennsylvania!
