Summary

Davy Crockett has a Devil in his heart: The Time: 1813. The Place: The Mississippi Territory. The Problem: Rebelling Creek warriors, under war chief Red Eagle, spread terror across the frontier, slaughtering settlers and peaceful Creeks alike. The Solution: Kill Red Eagle!
But Davy Crockett disagrees. He sees Red Eagle as the young nation’s best hope for peace, and risks his hair—and his life—to stop the fighting.
Standing in his way are:

	General Andrew Jackson, seeking glory to restart his political career.
	A Militia Commander leading some of the most brutal killers in the South.
	A Revolutionary War hero offering a bounty for Creek scalps.
	Davy’s best friend, who demands vengeance for his family.
	An Indian Princess who lost her mother to Red Eagle’s war.
	Red Eagle himself and his thousand bloodthirsty warriors.
	And most of all, Crockett’s Devil, an inner demon threatening all his hopes.

Can Davy best them all and bring peace to the wild frontier?

A “colorful” novel about the fall of one of history’s most notorious figures—and the defeat that would come to define him (Publishers Weekly).   It is 1814, and Napoleon Bonaparte retreats to Paris following the debacle of his Russian invasion. Once there, the leader is met with more resistance—a plot to restore a royal to the throne of France succeeds and a humiliated Napoleon is forced to abdicate and go into exile.   Octave Senecal, Napoleon’s loyal aide and savior, tells the tale of their journey south through the angry, mob-filled countryside to Elba, a tiny island off the coast of Tuscany. Horribly bored by this turn of events, Napoleon passes the time gambling with his mother, spearing the occasional tuna with local fishermen, and fretting constantly that secret agents and murderers surround him. He also secretly plans his escape and return to glory.   With captivating historical detail and “the allure of an epic,” this novel by the award-winning author of The Battle brings to life the complex man behind the renowned general, and offers a fitting send-off to a legend (Anita Brookner).

He and his army will build a fortress on the ramparts of Rosecliffe, then return to London in triumph.   Josselyn ap Carreg Du loathes the English conquerors who are ravaging her homeland.
