War! Tom Holloway and his Southern friends are excited about the prospects. But what do they know of war? Only what they read about in the newspapers. They envision the whole thing as an adventure, something to prove their manhood, to make them into men. A quick, few-month diversion from their sometimes boring school regimen. A chance to be part of a winning team...
The pioneers had come West to find homes and riches, instead they found a vast and lonely land, a land fraught with danger, fearsome creatures, and tamahnous, the primal magic no man could tame. As unknowable as the tumtum wawas, the spirit voices of things, the winter winds howled and cried and mourned. Born of fire, crowned in ice, the silent, brooding mountains kept the land's dread secrets...
When the fires had dwindled to ash and ember, the pioneers huddled close. They whispered fearsome tales of Lejube Rogue, the white Indian who ghosted through the untamed land seeking the man who had murdered his father and seduced his mother. The man Rogue had sworn to kill.
