  In the rigid, unforgiving colony of Puritan Boston, Hester Prynne is thrust onto the public scaffold, clutching an illegitimate child to her breast. Upon her gown blazes a brilliant scarlet "A"—a mark of shame designed to cast her out from society forever. But Hester steadfastly refuses to name her lover. As her estranged husband, the chilling Roger Chillingworth, arrives under a new identity and vows a relentless quest for revenge, a beloved local minister, Arthur Dimmesdale, slowly unravels beneath the agonizing weight of his own unspoken guilt. In a world where law and religion are ruthlessly entwined, Hester must forge a solitary path of survival, transforming her badge of disgrace into a profound symbol of female resilience.

  With Rebel Falls, Tim Wendel takes us to late summer of 1864. The Civil War rages on. Sherman is marching on Atlanta, while the armies of Grant and Lee battle across Virginia. In the North, war-weariness has made Lincoln's bid for reelection seem doubtful. As the fate of the nation  hangs in the balance, Confederate agents gather in Niagara Falls to plan one last maneuver to turn the tide of the conflict. 
   
   
   
  Rory Chase, a capable yet haunted young woman eager to contribute to the Union cause, accepts a mission from the Secretary of State to travel to Niagara Falls and prevent two rebel spies, John Yates Beall and Bennet Burley, from seizing the U.S.S. Michigan on Lake Erie and bombarding Buffalo, Cleveland, and other northern cities. To succeed, Rory must gain the rebel spies' trust and, with the help of the Underground Railroad network, foil their desperate gambit. But can she maintain the pretense of being a Confederate sympathizer long enough to unravel Beall and Burley's ingenious plot? 
   
   
   
  With actual events underpinning the tumultuous story in Rebel Falls, a forgotten chapter in the history of the Civil War is revealed. Far from frontlines, Wendel's exciting, character-driven narrative about a consequential struggle in the shadow of Niagara Falls' dramatic beauty is gripping from start to finish.
