Description: "Roman servant girl Minna would follow courageous commander Theo to the ends of the earth. So when he sets off north to battle, taking her brother, her friends and her beloved horse with him, she stows away in the baggage train, desperate not to be left behind. But army life is unimaginably brutal, and it is not long before Minna experiences the terrible reality first-hand. As the battles rage, it seems that everything she holds dear could be ripped from her. And before the dust can settle, she must face the fight of her life to protect those closest to her heart."--Back cover.
