Two boys. One battle. A life-changing encounter. Jemmy Martin left his
Texas farm and followed Confederate General Sibley's Army into New
Mexico to keep his mules safe. Now he's protecting Willie, an orphaned
drummer boy with a broken arm. Cian Lochlann is an Irish orphan who gave
up gold prospecting to join the Union Army. All he wants is a full belly
and a strong man to lead him into an unknown future. The three meet when
the Confederate and Union Armies clash in the mountains east of Santa Fe
in the Battle of Glorieta. Can Cian devise a plan that keeps all three
boys alive?
