Toby and his brother Paddy lose everything when bandits kill their parents and a rich business man attempts to steal their lands. Many might fall at this point but Toby decides to fight back and looks for a way to restore their families land.
This novel shows us many different points of view so we get a well rounded account of all the events as they occur. We see Toby and Paddy's, a family arriving by boat to make their fortune in the gold mines, and the business mans, just to name a few.
In all honesty, I got a little bored about two thirds of the way through this book. I think its more to do with me not being very interested in war type of scenes rather than the book itself though so don't be put off by that.
