Shadows

by A. V. Arms

Overview

Her life has turned into a nightmare. Her wedding is nearing, and Crystal is petrified of the future she sees lurking around the corner. Keith Deane is a dashing young man with cold eyes and a colder heart. If a future with Keith isn't terrifying enough, sharing a life with his mother and sisters is. Her attempt to remove herself from the engagement has dire consequences.
As war nears, Kentucky and its citizens find themselves caught in the middle. With fine horseflesh and a lifetime of experience in the saddle, Crystal's cousin Bobby is convinced war will bring him glory. He joins the cavalry led by John Morgan and settles into the life and chivalry of a cavalryman.
For Crystal war brings destruction, death, hunger and hope. She is faced with a life she could never imagine. The price she must pay is high. Crystal loses herself and the life she had known so she can survive the present. Her future has no place in this new world that sweeps across the land.
As the war wears on reality sets in, and the horrors begin to haunt those who survive. Justin is a member of Morgan's cavalry and he knows the war is turning against the South. His endless nights and days are haunted by the past and fear for the future.
Destruction spreads, lives are lost as the Civil War rages. Supplies diminish, and the haggard armies continue pushing through the battles, hunger, and illnesses. After years of tenacious fighting can the darkened souls of the survivors find peace?

About the Author

Author A.V. Arms began her writing career in journalism. She loved writing features about ordinary people doing to them what was ordinary things. This gave her an opportunity to draw the reader in and turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Books have always been her passion since an early age. Along with reading she wrote her own works of fiction. Writing the last word of a story that began in her own head is a highly gratifying event for her. From the birth of the idea to the final thought it seems almost like a necessity to put it all on paper.
She knows there’s nothing better than getting entranced in a good novel. She hopes her readers get the satisfaction of a good read and a feeling of time well spent.
