"In the early 1800s, nineteen-year-old Son Holland is falsely accused of stealing a purse and condemned to ten years in a brutal Louisiana prison camp. Determined not to spend the next decade behind bars, Son teams up with a fellow inmate and a beautiful Native American woman, and the trio flees. Kiling a guard in the process, however, ensures they'll face a punishment far worse than a chain gang if they're caught. They realize their best chance for escape is seeking cover in the violent storm of revolution led by General Houston and James Bowie. Soon they finds themselves in the midst of historic battles, attempting to secure not only thier own freedom but that of the Republic of Texas."--Publisher.
