Weeks before young Jacob Alson Long is set to graduate from
Virginia's Halifax Military Academy, his older brother, Joseph,
perishes in the Civil War. Being devastated by the loss, Jacob
immediately joins the South's fight and becomes involved in the
Masons. His father placing Jacob under "the Protection of the
Apron," the ghost of his brother later appears and gives Jacob
instructions that enable Jacob to perceive the war and its horrors.
Joseph's ghost watches over his younger brother on the bloody
battlefields. As the war continues, Jacob learns the ways of the
Order of the Golden Knights, and his knowledge helping him to turn
the tide at the Battle of Petersburg. He quickly rises through the
Confederate ranks and is selected to serve in the secret signal
corps. During Jacob's rise to Colonel he is inducted into a secret
order, "The Knights of the Golden Circle." Then he becomes
commander of a commando unit that operates underground during the
last desperate months of the war trying to bring the North to its
knee's. After the South is defeated, Jacob and his fellow Knights
continue fighting, coming to the aid of their Masonic brother and
president of the failed Confederacy, Jefferson Davis. Now, it's up
to Jacob and his men to distribute gold to the South's Masonic
lodges and continue the war against the oppressive troops of the
North. His trials in battle, his struggle to maintain morality
during this time of bloodshed and strife prepare him for his final
conflict, life in the South during reconstruction.
