Eve's worst nightmare begins.

The American Civil War wanes into history, but former slaves are still hunted, subjugated and often slaughtered by the Ku Klux Klan. Imprisoned and tortured, Eve's remaining hours and hope fade.

In a desperate move to save his sister, Louis reluctantly turns to the mysterious General Kyle Cochran for assistance. Infamously known as the Texas Butcher, Cochran is even more dangerous than those holding Eve against her will.

As the peculiar Cochran and one-time slave traverse the wintry terrain, time ticks away for poor Eve. Will the unlikely duo arrive before it's too late? Can Eve possibly be alive after suffering such unspeakable horrors — her body beaten, broken and bloodied in the red snow?
