A tale of courage, war, lust, defiance and honour, set against the backdrop of the most heroic last-stand action in military history. A Scotsman and his Irish friend, both of whom are on the run from Edinburgh, fleeing both justice and injustice, find themselves in Mexico as soldiers in France's Foreign Legion, seeking redemption under arms. This is how history was made. A stirring, fast-paced, enthralling historical novel, with beautiful original artwork provided by May Yang, Martin Symmers, Chris Wainwright and John Colquhoun.".
