When a troubled Texas teen named Eli stumbles into a time rift tied to the final days of the Republic of Texas, he discovers that history is more fragile-and more dangerous-than any textbook ever admitted. As arguments over annexation spiral into something far darker, Eli is pulled into the fears, pride, and impossible choices of leaders like Sam Houston, Mirabeau Lamar, and Anson Jones. A monster born from delay and division begins to feed on history itself, forcing Eli to confront a terrifying truth: some blood is spilled not in battle, but in the decisions leaders make to prevent worse horrors. Remember Texas: Blood of the Republic is a chilling, middle-school-appropriate historical horror novel about memory, responsibility, and the cost of choosing when a nation stands at the edge of becoming something new.
