In  the  days  following  the  Rapture  of  Christ͛s  Church,  the  ultimate  enemy  of  God  raised  up  his  primary  human  agent  in  the  flesh  to  carry  out  his  diabolical  mission,  Salvador  Romanero.   
The  Miracle  Maker,  as  Salvador  Romanero  was  known  throughout  the  world—after  various  predictions  he͛d  made  had  all  come  true—was  about  to  perform  his  greatest  miracle:  bringing  peace  to  a  tiny  country  that  had  lived  in  constant  fear  since  its  inception,  the  nation  of  Israel.  

But  instead  of  a  peace  treaty  being  signed,  Jerusalem  fell  under  a  sneak  attack  on  that  day.  In  just  six  hours,  more  blood  was  shed  in  the  streets  of  the  Holy  Land  than  any  other  24-hour  period  in  Israel͛s  turbulent  history.  Much  of  the  city  was  in  shambles.  Smoke  smoldered  from  buildings.   

 Anyone  opposing  the  one  world  government  he  was  putting  in  motion—to  include  a  one  world  religion—would  be  silenced  for  good.    

As  the  Miracle  Maker  set  out  to  create  a  brave  new  world,  children  of  the  Most  High  God  were  preparing  for  the  absolute  worst.  They  knew  God͛s  unprecedented  judgments  were  coming.  After  all,  it  was  written.  They  also  knew  Salvador Romanero  was  the  long-foretold  Antichrist  of  the  Bible,  and  there  was  nothing  they  could  do  to  stop  the  Son  of  Perdition  in  his  quest  for  global  worship.  

Initially,  Clayton  Holmes  and  Travis  Hartings,  founders  of  the  End  Times  Salvation  Movement,  used  a  website  to  connect  them  to  other  new  believers  also  left  behind  on  that  fateful  day.  Both  men  prayed  for  weeks  on  end  that  God  would  give  them  a  surefire  sign  so  they  would  know  who  was  trustworthy  or  not.  For  three  consecutive  nights  they  had  the  very  same  dream.  Both  heard  a  voice  say,  ͚Those  who  contact  you  regarding  this  dream  are  trustworthy.͛But  with the  second  attempt  to  sign  a  peace  treaty  with  Israel  now  upon  them,  the  chaotic  world  humanity  had  inherited  after  the  Rapture,  would  soon  come  completely  unglued.   

Instead  of  peace  and  prosperity  for  all,  Planet  Earth  would  experience  the  most  turbulent  seven  years  humanity  would  ever  know...  

History takes on vivid life in the stunning first full-length installment of Tamera Alexander's new series, The Carnton Novels.

On the night of November 30, 1864, a brutal battle in Franklin, Tennessee, all but decimates the Confederacy and nearly kills Captain Roland Ward Jones. A decorated Mississippi sharpshooter, Jones has a vision on the battlefield and, despite the severity of his wounds, believes his life will be spared. But a life without his leg, he can't abide. He compels Elizabeth "Lizzie" Clouston—governess to the McGavock family at the Carnton mansion—to intervene should the surgeon decide to amputate. True to her word, Lizzie speaks on his behalf and saves not only the captain's leg but also his life.

When a fourteen-year-old soldier dies in Lizzie's arms that night, the boy's final words, whispered with urgency, demand that Lizzie deliver them to their intended recipient. But all she has is the boy's first name. And, as she soon discovers, there's no record of him ever having enlisted. How can she set out alone across a land so divided by war and hatred to honor her pledge? Even more, does she dare accept Captain Jones's offer to accompany her? As he coalesces at Carnton, romance has blossomed between him and Lizzie—a woman already betrothed to a man she does not love.

From the pages of history and the personal accounts of those who endured the Battle of Franklin, Tamera Alexander weaves the real-life love letters between Captain Roland Ward Jones and Elizabeth Clouston into a story of unlikely romance first kindled amid the shadows of war.
