This is not how they are remembered by history. Driven by overwhelming longings, both outliers and establishment in this labyrinthine-plotted, darkly ironic tale refuse to accept the roles society has forced upon them.

Read about Ed Protzel’s The Lies That Bind — an exploration of the human struggle for justice, love, and self-fulfillment in the antebellum South.

Written for broad market appeal: readers who enjoy imaginative, provocative historical novels, mysteries, and family dramas, as well as racial, gender, and macro-social themes.

First in Ed’s planned “Dark Horse” trilogy.
