'Traitor' Summary
The story centers around a group of individuals in North Carolina who find themselves entangled in the aftermath of the Civil War. The Ku Klux Klan, once a symbol of resistance to Reconstruction policies, is losing its grip on power as the federal government exerts greater control over the South. Among the characters is a former Confederate soldier named Philip, who finds himself torn between his loyalty to his heritage and his growing awareness of the Klan's increasingly violent and lawless actions. He is joined by a young woman named Virginia, who is caught in the crossfire of racial and social unrest. Together, they navigate a world of hidden secrets, haunted houses, and spectral apparitions, as they grapple with the perilous realities of the post-war South. The novel culminates in a dramatic showdown that exposes the Klan's inner machinations and reveals the consequences of their actions. While weaving a compelling narrative of love, loss, and betrayal, Dixon's work offers a glimpse into the struggles and complexities of a nation grappling with the aftermath of a devastating conflict.Book Details
