BOOKS BY MARCUS CLOER
A legacy of courage, conviction, and conflict across centuries of American history.
Follow the Franca, Alexander, and Watson families through generations of secrecy, war, moral struggle, and survival — from the fall of empires in Europe to the battlefields and blockade lines of the American Revolution
🏛️ Book I: The Order
The beginning of the Order legacy — and the fight for freedom long before America was born.
In the wake of the Knights Templar’s destruction in 1307, a secret brotherhood rises from the ashes: The Order of Christ.
Destined to carry on the Templar mission, while preserving ancient truths; by defying corrupt empires, they 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 families’ earliest ancestors and the values that would define their bloodlines. Stories of espionage, sacrifice, and conviction, this novel sets the stage for all that follows.
“Before they were revolutionaries, they were visionaries.”
Book II: A Call to Arms
As the saga continues: The seeds of a New World have taken root, and the sprouts of discontent have broken through the soil and found the sunlight needed to grow.
The conflicting elements of the colonies, Loyalists and Patriots have bitterly fought amongst themselves for years over their opposing stances on allegiance to England.
Despite having exhausted every political means available to resolve the differences between them, shots have now been fired and armed conflict is beginning to seem inevitable.
The rebellious colonials resolve to undermine the financial chokehold that Parliament has saddled them with by means of embargos and smuggling. Given their connections to Marcus McClure’s wrecking operation in the Caribbean, it’s now something the Charles Town Commodities Group excels at. Their actions are the basis for furthering the festering discontent within the Southern Colonies.
With control of Charles Town, the wealthiest city in the colonies on the line, it’s a political war that the Crown can’t afford to lose.
Travel through history with our heroines, as they merge with colonial figures in the events that shaped our nation.
“Righteous smugglers engaged in a financial war against the mightiest nation on earth.”
📖 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.”
The Watson Family’s shipping empire switches from merchants to blockade runners.
