With winter, hunger, and violence pressing in, Dillon makes a reckless decision: he'll take Jenny home on foot-no matter what waits on the road. But as the miles stretch behind them, Dillon uncovers a nightmare far darker than war itself: a hidden trade in stolen boys, run by men who wear kindness like a mask. And when the truth leads back to Dillon's own home, he realizes there's no safe place left-only the fight to outrun the hunters and expose the evil that's been waiting for him all along.The Gaslight Boys is a gritty Civil War historical fiction series set in 1861-1865 and the harsh years of Reconstruction, shining a light on the forgotten victims of the conflict: the orphaned children left behind in its wake.
