Written in a vibrant and rhythmic style, the poems evoke a sense of heroism and moral reflection, drawing readers into the lives of historical figures such as Horatius and Virginius. Macaulay's literary context is rooted in the Romantic era's fascination with classical antiquity, blending historical fidelity with poetic embellishment to ignite the imagination of his audience while simultaneously promoting Victorian ideals of patriotism and virtue. Thomas Babington Macaulay, a prominent British historian and politician, was deeply influenced by both Enlightenment thought and Romantic sensibilities.

    In the shadowed heart of the Appalachian Mountains, Bellevue was a town built on coal, secrets, and grudges that never die. Joe Galloway thought the worst was behind him. After surviving the storm that nearly destroyed his business, he’s determined to rebuild. But someone isn’t ready to let him rise from the ashes. When an OSHA inspector turned up dead, the town was gripped with fear—whispers spread that the Dark Hands crime family had arrived, bringing a new wave of violence with them. For fifteen years, Joe carved out his place in Bellevue, battling those who saw him as an outsider. But with enemies closing in from all sides, old rivalries reignite, and buried sins claw their way to the surface. The battle for Galloway mining was no longer about business—it’s about survival.
