The year is 1856, only a few days before William Upshur's tenth Birthday, and was the day the Upshur farm was raided and his family brutally murdered. He was sole survivor of a planned massacre that left him with nothing but his memories, and troubled dreams filled with revenge.
Convinced he would never find those responsible, he spent the next five years in recuperative torment, then to leave his adopted family in 1861 to enlist in the war,...hoping to satisfy his hatred, and hunger for revenge.
Could he learn to survive in a cruel, war-ravaged land? Can a boy really cope with the death and brutality of a man's war? Would it be enough to quell his hatred and desire for vengeance? Could he live long enough to quench that desire?...Who knows?
This is the story of Upshur, one of hate, love, intrigue and death, during a time of of war, distrust, schemes, cruelty and revenge.
A dark time in the annals of history, and the journey a boy takes to become the man, they called Reb!
