In an alternative 19th century where magic is real, Alvin and his brother Arthur are sent to New Barcelona to prevent a war between pro and anti-slavery factions. There, they meet Abe Lincoln, and Alvin must use his powers to combat a terrible plague. Together, they lead five thousand slaves to freedom, an act that could trigger the war they are trying to avoid. This is the sixth installment in the 'The Tales of Alvin Maker' saga.
