Faithful to historical facts, the author writes a dramatic historical novel around the time of the fall of the then Mexican province of New Mexico to the United States army. It includes rabble-rousers and tyrants, sex and intrigue all under the elegant atmosphere of old Santa Fe with tense desert marches, battles, absorbing intrigue and an overpowering and near-tragic love story.
