Unsympathetic to the cause, he has nonetheless faced an existence as dangerous as any combat soldier. He has spent those two years protecting the vulnerable civilians in his community from the skulking jayhawker bands that prowl the countryside. Although his efforts are noble, he soon finds himself experiencing the horror of war and the duality of his own nature. Julia Viator is a beautiful woman often driven to imposing her will. Her competitive spirit has motivated her to success all of her life, at any price. Now she must face a challenge of her own design that may drive her to madness and destroy her family. Caesar Antoine is a runaway slave whose dearest friend from childhood was Dupre Hulin.

From the horror of the battlefields of Civil War Louisiana to the triumph of human resolve in the face of tremendous adversity, Dupre's Song is an affirmation of the frailty, brutality and generosity of the human spirit.
