Masque of Honor A Historical Novel of the American South by Sharon Virts

"Set in 1816 and based on the true story of the rivalry between two Virginia gentlemen . . . an epic tale of romance, politics, ambition and power." -Susan Koch, Emmy and Peabody Award-winning filmmaker   In this tale set in early nineteenth-century America, two sons of the Virginia aristacy risk it all to defend their dreams and determine their own destinies.   Gen. Armistead Mason and John "Jack" Mason McCarty are brothers-in-law, second cousins, and descendants of Founding Father George Mason IV. Armistead-by nature a politician-demands respect and strives for perfection. Jack-by inclination a rover-looks to forge his own path.   When Armistead is challenged by corruption in the political machine and is denied a seat in the US Congress, the two become embroiled in a bitter dispute that sets in motion an irrevocable chain of events-leading them to the dueling grounds and an outcome that changes everything.   Based on historical events of the 1819 Mason-McCarty duel, Masque of Honor is a story of courage, conviction, and the cost of sacrificing one life to forge another.   "Carries us back to life as it was two hundred years ago in the new State of Virginia . . . fascinating fiction based on facts." -Pamela Binnings Ewen, author of The Queen of Paris
