Starbuck is saved from an attack by Richmond's patriotic residents (who think he is a Yankee spy) by Faulconer's rich landowner father, Washington Faulconer. Faulconer wishes to raise a regiment to fight the Yankees, Starbuck is appointed one of Faulconer's aides with the rank of second lieutenant. He is there by circumstance not for politics.

Starbuck is then tasked with recruiting to the regiment a tough Mexican-American War veteran, Thomas Truslow, who lives in the fictional Faulconer County; he succeeds only by dedicating the grave of Truslow's wife and officiating in the marriage of his wayward daughter Sally Truslow. Many other events occur between this and the start of the hostilities, when the rather pompously named Faulconer Legion marches off to the First Battle of Bull Run. It is here that Starbuck alienates himself from Faulconer.

About the Author:

Bernard Cornwell is the battlefield bard of historical fiction, bringing swords, shields, and legendary warriors roaring to life on the page! Best known for The Last Kingdom series (yep, the one that inspired the hit Netflix show), Bernard is a master at turning history into high-stakes adventure—complete with fierce battles, gritty heroes, and plenty of shield-wall action.

Whether he’s following the rise of Uhtred of Bebbanburg or diving into the smoke and chaos of the Napoleonic Wars with Sharpe, Bernard writes with the kind of vivid detail that puts you right in the thick of it—mud, blood, and all.

With sharp wit, rich historical research, and a love for underdogs who don’t back down, his stories are perfect for anyone who likes their fiction epic, their characters bold, and their history with a side of mayhem.

If you’re ready to ride into battle (without leaving your reading chair), Bernard Cornwell is your fearless guide through the past
