Dogged by death every step of the way, each finds that experience of modern life has provided a skill that might - just might - save the band from an excruciating fate. And one of the group - having lost a brother to the barbaric torture death of impaling - hides a very special secret. But as well as their own struggle for survival, the youngsters - each a convinced protestor - find themselves in a moral dilemma . how to save their own skins whilst also fighting against the inhuman brutality and injustice suffered by new friends in a time where they don't belong. Hugh McCracken transports his readers into the harsh realities of days gone by with a unique talent for interweaving breathtaking adventure and fine historical detail.
