Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Luco Rossi arrives in post-Civil War Arkansas with little more than a dented rifle, a past he cannot face, and a promise to live free. A young Sicilian who fled Palermo's shadows and fought for the Union, Luco thought war would end his ghosts-but the peace he finds is brittle. On a plantation edge where the pinewoods meet prairie, he discovers a community riven by old loyalties and new claims: freedmen building lives from ash, Osage women guarding ancestral ties to the land, and farmers clinging to the fragile hope of justice. When a dying farmer entrusts Luco with a contested bequest-a stretch of soil that could secure home and dignity for several families-he sets into motion a collision with James Oakwood, a violent local strongman who rules by terror and the rumor of law. As threats escalate, Luco forms uneasy alliances across lines of language and custom: a freedman witha steady hand and sharper wit, and an Osage woman whose knowledge of the land and its stories becomes both guide and moral reckoning. Together they confront intimidation, slavery's lingering structures, and the compromises Reconstruction forces upon a divided nation.Torn between vengeance and mercy, loyalty to comrades and responsibility to the vulnerable, Luco must choose what kind of man he will be in this new America. Will he protect the bequest and the fragile community it promises-or will the siren call of retribution unravel the fragile bonds they've built Rich with historical detail and moral urgency, this novel traces one man's search for belonging amid the unsettled aftermath of a war that changed everything and nothing at once.
