"In the midst of the American Civil War, a shadowy faction has emerged: The Triangle. Headed by a mysterious figure, they scheme to destabilize the United States by orchestrating random acts of sabotage, further inflaming the passions of war and ensuring that neither side can claim victory. Caught in the middle is Devon Chambers, the daughter of a renowned British cryptographer. When she learns that her father has been kidnapped and is being held for a staggering one million dollars in gold she’s left with no choice but to join the Confederacy. She takes on the delicate role of a cryptographer-spy, entering into a game of lies and deception that’s only getting more treacherous by the day. Only adding to the chaos is Levi Mills, a Union Colonel whose true identity is shrouded in secrecy; he’s actually the head of President Lincoln’s secret intelligence network. Tasked with the perilous mission of transporting one million dollars in gold, he must navigate agents sent by the Triangle as well as a beautiful cryptographer determined to contaminate his codes and undermine his every effort." Victoria's Messenger is a historical civil war era spy adventure romance book. It was written by my grandmother in the 1980s but was never published or edited. I ended up with the manuscript and decided to finish, edit and publish it with her blessing.
