Providence reunites Christine Thompson and Adam Vestry four years following their first adventure in The Invisible Empire. The year is 1876. Chicago, just five years after the Great Fire, continues to rebuild its reputation as Queen of the West. The nation stands on the brink of greatness, and a hope in Progress reigns. Christine, determined to make her own way, joins a beautiful utopian community called New Eden, where new ideas, hard work and equality have seemingly recreated Paradise. Adam, now an investigative magazine reporter, pursues connections between organized crime and business. Adam discovers that beneath Chicago's gemlike surface lies a dark and dangerous underworld where greed and power bring ruin to all who dare embrace it. But when Adam follows a trail of corruption to the doorstep of Christine's community in New Eden, he is not prepared for the conflict that follows. Adam will need all his wits and his faith to rescue Christine, and to foil the ev! il that seeks to bring flames and destruction to the Queen of the West once again! City of Lies is the second book in the Century War Chronicles Freedom Series. Adam and Christine are but two in a line of young men and women who must struggle into adulthood and triumph through the century-long spiritual conflicts that have shaped our nation past and present. The Freedom Series, and its companion Discovery Series, follow the lives and interconnected adventures of young people through 19th- and 20th-century America.
