Bloodlines. Betrayal. Legacy fired in black powder.
The Last Cavalier launches a brutal and sweeping saga—from the royal courts of Europe to the killing fields of America. Franco Lacroix isn’t just caught in history—he’s the spark that reignites it.
War remembers its own.
Redemption rides a stolen horse.
Franco’s descent is as brutal as his legend—through opium, blood, and Bushwhacker fire. This is the ride that burns the man and reveals the myth.
The world will remember the name Franco Loco. Whether it forgives him… is another matter.
Before he was a soldier, he was a ghost. And now he was about to become one again.
A lone survivor of the infamous Battle of Camerone disappears into the Mexican badlands. The Legionnaire bridges the worlds of father and son, weaving war, vengeance, and identity into a reckoning that sets the next chapter ablaze.
The road to redemption is paved with bloodshed. And for Adhemar Lacroix, that road leads straight through hell.
The past returns with a sword in its hand.
Franco comes home to the Camargue—older, sober, and more dangerous than ever. But the battle waiting for him is more than blood and vengeance. It’s the final test of everything he is... and everything Murin tried to make him.
Only one of them was ever the Last Cavalier. And one of them was always the Dragon.
The truth doesn’t live in textbooks. It lives in the bones of forgotten men, in burned letters, in blood-stained ledgers buried under the war-torn soil of a divided nation.
Here you’ll find the real history behind The Last Cavalier—from blockade runners and whiskey rebels to secret orders and vanished soldiers. What lies beneath the red clay might just rewrite everything you thought you knew about the Civil War.
"Jack Ledger writes historical fiction like it was carved into musket stock." - Aria Vale
Raised across the broken landscapes of postwar Europe, the Far East Pacific Rim, Alaska and the American frontier, he blends memory, myth, and war into stories too sharp for the history books.
This isn’t nostalgia. It’s resurrection.
