More than a hundred years after the McClellan-Davis Accords ended the Civil War, tensions are still high between the Union and the Confederacy. But recent trade agreements and personnel exchanges have made both sides hope that good relations can be restored. That is, until the Union ambassador vanishes one night from the embassy in Perdition. Two agents are sent to investigate his disappearance. Delilah Thorn, a video surveillance analyst with zero field experience, has no idea why she\u2019s been sent on this operation, but her unshakeable faith in the Union convinces her that she must somehow have the right skills for the job. Her new partner, Dane Rook, is a seasoned veteran with a mysterious background\u2014and a whole lot of skepticism about what their assignment entails. They\u2019ve barely crossed into the Confederacy when the whole mission goes to hell. Separated, trapped in a hostile nation with no weapons or supplies, they slowly learn a terrible secret about the government just across their own border. Their lives depend on separating friend from foe and discovering the limits of their own endurance. Can they figure out not only how to survive, but also how to become agents of change in a brutal society that the world has left behind?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wordposse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/perdition.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-704\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wordposse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/perdition.jpg\" alt=\"perdition\" width=\"333\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wordposse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/perdition.jpg 333w, http:\/\/www.wordposse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/perdition-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 333px) 100vw, 333px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wordposse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/quillsmall30px.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-478\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wordposse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/quillsmall30px.png\" alt=\"quillsmall30px\" width=\"30\" height=\"30\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many years ago, Marella Sands and Mark Sumner wrote a screenplay about a US that had split apart after the Civil War.
