    About this ebook

    In 1865 the Confederate States of America won the civil war. They won because they had a supernatural ally in a vampire named Argos and his undead slave army. 

    Today more than hundred and fifty years later Amy Selkirk, driven by avenging the transformation of her sister into one of the undead, leads a rebellion to not only destroy Argos but to end the Confederate States of America, and thus end slavery, forever.

    But she needs an allies, those willing to follow her example. 

    A dark alternate history where good struggles to triumph over evil to save humanity.

      Unnatural Immortal - Russ Crossley

      Unnatural Immortal

      In mid-August, nights in the Tall Timbers forest are muggy and stifling, the air thick as pudding. But the tranquility of this green meadow in the middle of these elegant pines and majestic oaks provided a welcome respite for Amy Selkirk, who sat almost buried in the long, wild grasses tipped yellow by the sun.
