Where blood is spilt, 
unexpected love may bloom.

In 1816 Georgia, escaped slaves control the land just beyond the American border in Las Floridas. Lost somewhere between white and black worlds, Milly follows hope to the only place that can offer her refuge—the place Georgians are calling Negro Fort. The first, sweet taste of freedom convinces Milly that surrender is not an option. Death would be more welcome.

Major Phillip Bailey has orders to subdue the uprising and return the runaways to their masters. Forced to fight alongside Creek warriors—the same who etched the scars into his mind and flesh—Phillip primes himself for battle.  But inside, a war already rages—return for the woman he thought lost to him or concede her to the enemy she loves; follow orders or follow his heart. 


READ FIRST CHAPTER

Warring Spirits is a tale of loss of pride, civility, and identity; at the same time it showcases the best in humanity and a hope for the future. A must-read for lovers of early American history.

April Gardner has gone the extra mile to assure accurate and honest portrayals of the diverse characters in Warring Spirits, a human drama played out on the stage of American history. It has been an honor to serve as a liaison between a conscientious storyteller and knowledgeable advisors among modern Muscogee Creeks. The ministry of Warring Spirits is the challenge to examine our Christian practice with clear eyes and new inspiration. ~ Edna Dixon, Student of southeastern Creek history and culture, Perdido Bay Tribe of Southeastern Lower Muscogee Creek Indians, Inc.

Warring Spirits is an action-packed, emotionally-engrossing novel that reveals the depths of humanity through vividly dynamic characters. Each scene is filled with brilliantly crafted, image-invoking details that effectively plunge the reader into nineteenth century Georgia, a time when slavery forced brave men and women into action. The result is a thought-provoking novel that centers around a resounding truth--love reigns.
