All hell has broken loose after John Brown’s raid. Elmira Beaumont, a rich and powerful plantation mistress, worries after her only son, Noah, ends up under the command of their hated family rival Ambrose de Bellomonte—now an active Confederate general.

She lives a solitary existence in Beaumont Hall as her cold husband is more consumed with power and rivalry than anything else. Alone in the world, young Emma arrives at Beaumont plantation after losing her father during a failed escape. Meanwhile, Isaiah, once the educated companion of Noah, has been cast out of the mansion and condemned to the fields. He’s plotting a bloodbath until a new girl piques his interest.

When Isaiah’s budding romance with Emma is threatened by a jealous Elmira, he risks all to escape with her. ‘House of Crimson Roses’ is an epic family saga about the death and rebirth of the Beaumont family. Masters and slaves within the family struggle with love, loss, the opiate of vengeance and the promise of redemption while the bloody thread that binds them is the upheaval of civil war.
