In 1824, ten years before the Texas Revolution, the province of Texas belonged to Mexico-but not for long. Texians would soon rebel against the oppression of the Mexican commandant. In a land that grew heroes from those with courageous and daring hearts, this heart-jolting historical romance is the fourth novel in the Wilderness Dawning Series and features Wiley's popular and well-loved characters, the Wyllies and MacKays.

Fearing for her father and brother's safety, Alexa Anderson opposes the formation of a Texian militia. Rebels risked being shot by firing squads at the Mexican army's fort in the East Texas town of Nacogdoches.

Alexander MacKay is on his way out of Mexican Texas, returning to his home in Kentucky when he senses he shouldn't leave. Staying doesn't make sense, but he soon realizes he can help the Texians' cause of freedom. Once he meets Alexa, he has another reason to stay although the beautiful, opinionated woman, fearing for his life also, tries to talk him into leaving. Texas is not a safe place for spirited young men who believe basic human rights are God-given.

But Alexander's desire to fight for freedom is too great. Along with his father Bear MacKay, her family, and the famous James Bowie, he soon joins the Texians National Militia to fight in the Battle of Nacogdoches-a battle that could change the course of history and the lives of two young people. Alexa learns that the rebellion she resisted may be the only true path to safety and to love. Will the fighting and a dangerous enemy place too great a strain on their budding love? Or will Alexander's commitment to the cause of freedom ultimately strengthen their love?

With vivid characters and true events taken from actual history, LAND OF HEROES transports the reader to the vast woods and plains of the sprawling frontier-a paradise of promise and peril. Wiley's Wilderness Dawning Series and her two other highly-rated series are gritty westerns, love stories, and gripping tales of the first daring settlers of the American West. Her stories of the pursuit of the American dream are tastefully romantic and authentic historicals set against the stunning backdrop of the wilderness. Each book is a stand-alone, full-length novel.
