In the final, brutal months of the Civil War, Union sharpshooter Jimmy Barton wages a different battle-one fought in silence. Hidden along the ridgelines of the Shenandoah Valley, he doesn't charge into chaos. He waits. Watches. And decides who never makes it home.
To the Union Army, Jimmy is an indispensable asset.
To the men in his crosshairs, he is death without warning.
The distance was supposed to make it easier.
Each kill was clean. Efficient. Necessary. But as the campaign grinds on, the weight of those distant lives closes in. What once felt like duty now feels like something darker-a shadow Jimmy can't outrun.
While his closest friend, Amos, clings to dreams of the life waiting beyond the battlefield, Jimmy feels his own humanity slipping away with every pull of the trigger. Then, one moment in the field changes everything, forcing Jimmy to confront a truth more dangerous than any enemy:
Some wounds don't bleed, and some wars never end.
The Marksman's Cross is a haunting, atmospheric historical novel about duty, isolation, and the unseen cost of survival, this is a story that lingers long after the final shot is fired.
