"Ignacio Ortiz - a Mexican orphan and a runaway searching for his past - lives through eras of intense change, including revolutionary upheavals, two world wars, and the begining of the modern west during New Mexico's last territorial days. As these turbulent events serve as a backdrop to his life, Ignacio's own loyalties will be tested by the passions of his tempestuous employers - the MacAndrews clan." - Taken from cover p.4.
