Ronan Mulloy escapes famine-stricken Ireland only to become a fugitive in America. His one way out is a place on a dangerous wagon train bound down the Santa Fe Trail — but when the journey ends, the real adventure begins in a remote Mexican village.

There he builds a life out of the dust, surviving raids, revolutions, and the violent remaking of the frontier. He finds love, he loses more than he can afford to, and he climbs from penniless immigrant to a pillar of a booming new territory.

An epic of resilience, of what a person will trade for a second chance, and of a territory being built and fought over at the same time.
