Not far way, in the garrison town of Halifax, Corporal Cully Robin's life also seems laid out in front of him: press-ganged into the brutal British Army as a teenager, he will spend his days in barracks or on the battlefield until he is killed, crippled, or too old to march. But an alternate plot -- one that will force the paths of Eulalie, Andre, and Cully Robin to cross -- is about to change their lives irrevocably.
