Annotation

War. Families are torn apart, estates are plundered, farms are torched, and the war lays bare the dilemmas of mankind--the struggle, boredom, treachery, and fear. Brothers Jacob and Aaron Abbott serve His Majesty's Army nobly, but circumstance and fate violently disrupt their lives, removing them from a peaceful war to a dangerous peace. They embark on a thrilling journey across the great state of Pennsylvania, a wilderness, in 1778. From Swatara Creek to Chambers Gate, they guard against the elements, befriend some unlikely locals, and display courage and good sense to combat the danger and confusion that lurk inside the dense gray foliage that engulfs them. One thing is for sure: the sun sets in the west, and that is where the adventure will send them.
