BOOKS BY MARCUS CLOER

A legacy of courage, conviction, and conflict across centuries of American history.

Follow the Watson family through generations of hidden war, moral struggle, and survival — from the fall of empires in Europe to the battlefields and blockade lines of the American Civil War

🏛️ Prequel: The Order

The beginning of the Watson legacy — and the fight for freedom long before America was born.

In the wake of the Knights Templar’s destruction, a secret brotherhood rises from the ashes: The Order of Christ. Their mission: preserve the ancient truths, defy corrupt empires, and shape the moral compass of generations to come.

Spanning the political shadows of Europe and the growing unrest in colonial America, The Order reveals the Watson family’s earliest ancestors and the values that would define their bloodline. A story of espionage, sacrifice, and conviction, this prequel sets the stage for all that follows.

“Before they were merchants, they were revolutionaries.”

📖 Book One: The Louisiana Purchase

The Watson Series

The Civil War begins — and the Watson family enters the fray.

As war shatters the Union, the Watson family's merchant fleet is transformed into the Confederate Merchant Raiders — a covert force determined to break the North’s economic blockade. Their mission is bold: wage a financial war, supply the South, and do it all beneath the smoke and fire of naval confrontation.

Set in wartime Charleston and filled with intrigue, The Louisiana Purchase introduces the Watsons not just as warriors — but as Americans grappling with impossible choices in an age of chaos.

“Their mission: Wage a financial war. Supply a nation in need. Preserve a way of life.”

🌊 Book Two: The Rappahannock Run

The Watson Series

In war, not all battles are fought by men.

With the Southern war effort under siege, the women of the Watson family step forward in The Rappahannock Run — a gripping tale of courage and covert resistance. Smuggling critical supplies up the rivers of Virginia, they navigate not just enemy patrols, but the very fabric of what it means to serve.

Set amid the tension of the Second Battle of Bull Run, this second installment of The Watson Series explores espionage, sacrifice, and the quiet strength that carried a people through history’s deadliest conflict.

“On quiet rivers, under moonlit skies, history moved in whispers.”
