Falon Macvail is barely fourteen years old when her family is forced to flee their home in Scotland, leaving behind everything she s ever known in the hands of greedy landowners. As their beloved country struggles through a time of great civil unrest and class upheaval, Falon and her family travel to a raw wilderness called Texas. Far from the threat of their murderous evictors, the Macvail family must carve out a new life amidst the dangers of a new frontier. When the rumblings of a war with Mexico begin and an implacable enemy invades from the south, ravaging the countryside and leaving a trail of death and destruction behind them, Falon must take a stand once more and find the courage to protect those in her care from the enemy crouching on her doorstep.
