On the frontier, 30 armed men hunting you is like the truth…inescapable.
The year is 1852. The place is the Cape Frontier, now known as the Eastern Cape. Arend, is a private in the newly formed Frontier Armed and Mounted Police (F.A.M.P). Diggory is supposed to be a comrade-in-arms, but he knows more than he is letting on and Susanna is a woman who has lost everything but her secrets. These three people find themselves trapped between a mountain and an approaching band of 30 pursuers. Not only must they choose where their allegiances lie, they must decide whether to stand or fight. No choice has been harder; no truths have been more twisted and bent than the truths shared between these three. But as the old adage goes, ‘Keep your enemies close and your revolver closer.’
