  Introducing Trace and Chaw: a pugnacious pair of Civil War veterans who nearly killed each other in battle—but lived to fight another day. Together . . . 
   
   
   
  They met in a bloodbath. Two demons in uniform caught in the middle of one hell of a war. Private Chaw, the Rebel, liked chewing tobacco and fighting blue-bellied Yanks. Private Trace, the Yankee, hated Southerners, especially ornery cusses like Chaw. But when the smoke cleared after the Battle of Deadeye Gap, the Blue and the Gray of their uniforms didn't matter anymore. Both were stained blood red. And both were the last men standing . . . 
   
   
   
  This was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. 
   
   
   
  Now that the war's over, Trace and Chaw travel the West together. They're handy with six-guns and gut-shredders, fond of women and liquor, and always ready to raise hell. Somehow, the unlikely partnership works—until Trace and Chaw sign up with a freighting company run by a beautiful woman. Her company is caught in the crossfire of two rival mine owners who want to control the freight routes. Like it or not, Trace and Chaw are stuck in the middle of another war. And this one's going to be every bit as bloody—and maybe their last . . .

  After surviving the Battle of Cape Ecnomus in 256 BC, Tontorix and Diaecus relocate to Phoenicia where they assimilate themselves into the culture by learning the language, adopting new names, and joining the lucrative purple dye manufacturing business. When rule over the Phoenicians passes from the Ptolemaic Empire to the Seleucid Empire, the two companions are compelled to avoid paying new taxes by traveling to Taxila in the east and establishing trade with the Mauryan Empire. 
  Eventually, Diaecus returns to Phoenician shores to find that the city they called home has succumbed to the power of local gangs. Intent on standing up for innocent citizens and what he believes to be right, he is motivated to learn new skills to challenge the gangs on their own turf. Meanwhile, Tontorix remains in Taxila as the Mauryan Empire comes to an end and the turbulent Greco-Bactrian Kingdom sweeps in to establish the Indo-Greek Kingdom. 
  Both situations come to a climax as the two Celts struggle with their different perceptions of what it means to be a good leader and a positive influence on the people and places they care about.
