Overview

Before He Became a Legend, He Was Just a Boy Chasing Thunder. Long before Lummy Tullos set foot on the battlefields of the Civil War, he sat wide-eyed at his uncle's knee, listening to stories that burned brighter than any firelight. In River Storm, the prequel to the critically-acclaimed Tale of Two Colors Series, the legend of Silas Tullos takes shape-not in history books, but in blood, courage, and the muddy waters of the mighty Mississippi. At eighteen, Silas is no stranger to danger. But when whispers of British agents stir old grudges and Creek warriors rise in resistance, he finds himself swept into a war that threatens everything he loves. Alongside the indomitable Colonel Sam Dale, Silas must navigate a landscape where loyalties shift like river currents, and every choice carves a mark on the soul. As he fights to defend his home-and the people in it-Silas faces heartbreak, hardship, and a destiny that will carry him to the bustling and exotic town of New Orleans, where one of the most decisive battles in American history waits. Told through the eyes of a young boy destined to become a hero himself, River Storm is a stirring tale of honor, sacrifice, and the roots of a family legacy that will echo through generations.
