War Between The Provinces is Harry Turtledove’s fantasy retelling of the American Civil War. The three novels follow the western theater of the conflict, with characters and battles that closely mirror real historical counterparts. Instead of slavery, the central issue is the bondage of blond serfs, and the armies ride unicorns instead of horses.

The trilogy covers Sentry Peak (2000), Marching Through Peachtree (2001), and Advance and Retreat (2002). Civil War buffs will recognize the real battles behind the fantasy names, while fantasy readers get a military saga grounded in genuine historical strategy.
