They won’t leave this young soldier to his grief. Now, they will suffer his wrath....

Ireland, 1856. Samuel Kingston can’t shake his guilt over his father’s death. Blindsided when his aristocratic enemies freeze his funds and steal incriminating papers, he becomes desperate for cash. To save the family estate, he makes a bold deal with Cornelius Vanderbilt to smuggle weapons to Costa Rica and arm the foes of the filibuster, William Walker.

Battling bandits and filibusters to complete his mission, Samuel despairs when his enemies strike again and take all that is dear to him. Now, he must convince the Costa Ricans to assault Walker’s forts on the river, even if he’s sailing straight into a deathtrap.

Can Kingston survive a revenge plot and betrayal to save his new family?
