But he's torn between a burning desire to fight for the Union, and an all-consuming need to help birth a new state: West Virginia. Even as he tries to walk a dangerous middle ground, he and his men are pulled into a brutal and deadly brother-against-brother guerrilla war threatening to engulf his new Northern home and derail the fledgling state.

So Nathan sends his best men, Stan and Billy, to track down the villain and finally bring him to justice. The Road to the Breaking Series is an epic tale of a young nation seething with debauchery, brutality, corruption, and political intrigue, relentlessly driven into a deadly abyss: the American Civil War .
