Through Tempest Forged chronicles the life
of the Rogers family of Kemp’s Landing, Virginia, as they sail the storms of the struggle for independence in late eighteenth-century
America. Paul Rogers is a wealthy gentleman farmer with a large estate, devoted wife, and a loving, large family. He is an
avowed loyalist, dedicated to England and to the king’s ownership of the colonies of America, but his loyalty is challenged
and eventually destroyed as the crown slowly drains money, food, and livelihood from them.
Passaris
has wonderful skill in presenting scenes of domestic bliss and a strong attention to detail regarding the homes and fashions
of the time, as well as consideration for the difference in perspectives about slavery as the novel progresses. The dialogue
is wonderfully written, and gives the family a delightful depth and vivacity.
Through Tempest
Forged is a rewarding read for those looking to immerse themselves in a romantic period piece.

"Barbara Passaris captures the reader's ability
to step back into history with the complexity of the Rogers family in Through Tempest Forged. Brilliantly
set in colonial Virginia in 1775 on the cusp of the Revolutionary War, this epic tale is a mixture of love, loyalty, and adventure
that will have you enthralled from your very first encounter with the cast of rich characters. The twists and turns this novel
takes keeps you on your toes and thirsting to read more. Through Tempest Forged treats the reader to an incredible
journey you simply won't want to miss."

"Sometimes books come through that you can’t
put down. The excitement is there, the drama is there, and you care what happens to the characters. This is such
a book. We thoroughly recommend this to any reader who wants a novel with it all!
Our only complaint is that the sequel is not
available yet. We can’t wait for the next installment!"

What happens when a family is enmeshed in the birth pangs
of a newly emerging entity soon to be known as The United States? Will they succumb to the uncertainty of their time,
or will they be resilient, indeed, triumphant?
The year is 1775, and the world is on fire with the seeds
of rebellion firmly taking root in America.
Paul Rogers has everything that a man could possibly want:
a beautiful wife, and wonderful family, and a prosperous farm in prestigious colonial Virginia. But his comfortable
life is about to be interrupted by a tempest so fierce that the foundations of his life will be shaken to the bone.
One of his sons is involved with the Patriot resistance,
and the other son’s passions tend toward dark and unsavory oddities that are seldom spoken about. To complicate
matters, an unscrupulous and cruel lieutenant of the Crown has targeted Paul’s family with what could be devastation
and ruin for them.
As patriarch of his family, Paul is forced to choose sides,
and the stakes are high, for both sides of this political coin could expose Paul’s sons, wreak havoc on his family,
and hurt his wife and daughters.
A stirring tale of love, lust, honor, and dishonor,
treachery, deceit, and political intrigue, with shocking twists and unsettling turns, where life and death are constant companions,
where nothing and no one will ever be the same.
