When Richmond landowner Washington Faulconer snatches young Nate Starbuck from the grip of a Yankee-hating mob, Nate is both grateful and awed by his idealistic rescuer. To repay his generosity, he enlists in the Faulconer legion to fight against his home, the North, and against his abolitionist father. When the regiment joins up, ready to march into the ferocious battle at Buff Run, the men are prepared to start a war . . . but they aren't ready for how they--and the nation--will be forever changed by the oaths they have sworn for their beloved South.

‘His series of Sharpe novels earned him almost every accolade possible. This is even better’ DAILY MAIL
In the summer of 1861 the armies of North and South stood on the brink of America’s civil war, 'Rebel' tells how a northern boy, Nathaniel Starbuck, came to be fighting for the southern cause.
Jilted by his girl and estranged from his family, Starbuck arrives in Richmond, Virginia, capital of the Confederate South. He is rescued by the rich and eccentric Washington Faulconer, who is raising his own elite regiment to fight against the Yankees. Starbuck enlists in the Faulconer Legion, even though it could mean fighting against his own people.
Others face similar dilemmas, but soon all confusion will be resolved by the shocking violence of the war which broke America in two.
'Rebel' marks the beginning of a magnificent new series from the best-selling creator of Richard Sharpe.
