Tangled Honor is the first of a three-book set that follows Confederate Captain John McBee through the Civil War. McBee is part of Hood's Texas Brigade, where he commands Company C in the Fifth Texas Infantry, the famed "Bloody Fifth" regiment. The action in Tangled Honor comes in 1862, the Texans' first year of combat when McBee leads his men, who are from a single Texas town, into the maelstrom of battle at Gaines' Mill, Second Manassas, and more.Beyond the battles, Tangled Honor explores the vexing relationship between McBee and Levi, the McBee family slave who accompanies the captain to war as his body-servant. Even as Captain McBee is mastering the skills of command, a muddle of seemingly unstoppable violence and intrigue wells up and endangers his position as an officer, all starting when his blistered feet come to the attention of a woman named Faith.
