There Was a Time: A Civil War Romance
by Kenneth Neff Hammontree[from the back cover] "The Civil War was a time of great tragedy for the United States--and great drama. Kenneth Hammontree, in this second printing of There Was a Time, focuses on a small but poignant story from the pivotal Battle of Gettysburg. Mary Virginia "Jennie" Wade was helping her mother make bread in her sister's little brick house. Right in the midst of the fighting for Gettysburg, she was struck down by a Confederate sharpshooter's bullet. Unknown to Jennie, her childhood sweetheart, Corporal Jack Skelly, was at that very hour suffering with wounds inflicted during the battle of Carters Woods, from which he would soon die. Author Hammontree shows us the thoughts and feelings of Jennie, Jack, and their families on those fateful days of June and July 1863. We see the full bloom of love between the ill-fated pair, their tentative plans for the future amid the destruction and uncertainty of war, and the reactions of the people around them. Kenneth Hammontree captures precisely the combination of excitement and the dread that overcame Gettysburg and its inhabitants, making us feel as if we were actually there. And finally, he has given us a fictionalized version of Jack's farewell letter to Jennie written in the hospital and lost during the Battle of Gettysburg. All told, There Was A Time is an educational and touching experience not to be missed by any discerning reader."

Outside the City's walls, humans and magical beings mix freely and call upon Wild Magic---a system sometimes erratic, always driven by desire and need, and performed by both men and women. Now, in To Light a Candle, the Demon Queen sends her forces against her human and elven enemies, sowing distraction and death. In the human City, the Queen's agents work to divide the Council and foment rebellion among the City's citizens. In the countryside, they target the most vulnerable and valuable---the young Elf Prince and the Wild Mages who might be the Demons' most dangerous enemies.

Valued for his bravery and his skills as both wizard and warrior, Kellen joins the Elves' war councils. Yet he cannot convince the City of his birth that it is in terrible danger. Kellen's sister Idalia, a Wild Mage with great healing ability, has pledged her heart to Jermayan, a proud Elven warrior. Someday Idalia will pay a tragic Price for a world-saving work of Wild Magic, but until then, she will claim any joy life can offer her. Jermayan, who has learned much while fighting at Kellen's side and loving the human Idalia, finds that everything changes when he Bonds with a dragon while rescuing the Elf Prince and becomes the first Elven Mage in a thousand years. Furious at her enemies' success with the dragon, the Demon Queen attacks in force. Light struggles against Dark, like flickering candle flames buried deep in the shadow of Obsidian Mountain.
