Military Captain Samuel La Font may be hot-tempered and headstrong, but he is certainly not about to flee his war-torn country without a fight. He is determined to stay in France and wage a war against the revolutionaries.
For the greater part of the year, everything works in Samuel’s favor. He has the love and support of his close knit group of friends. His Corsican based family has even recruited several skilled soldiers who are more than willing to die for Samuel’s cause. But, towards autumn, fate takes an unexpected and dangerous turn. Now Samuel is forced to make a choice—get his friends and himself out of France or die in battle against the revolutionaries.

All of this changes when Maria Hernandez comes to Peach Valley Senior High. Rebellious and head-strong, Maria instantly gains the acceptance of her peers. Yet, she sees in Anya what everyone else does not see: her physical beauty and immense talent. So, when Maria extends her hand of friendship, Anya is elated.
