As the Revolution of 1848 ravages Europe, in Berlin, many young
people take to the streets with other revolutionaries to oppose the
Prussian soldiers waiting for them. Seething with resentment over
the choking restrictions of press and speech, embargoes, taxation,
over-population and lack of opportunities, ownership of land and
enactment of laws by and for the nobility, these fearless
revolutionaries take a stand to break away from the established
government.
Hell-bent on controlling their own lives, Ernst von Kohl and
Henri Ordeneaux, cousins and students at the University of Leipzig,
fight together, side-by-side, protecting each other as they
narrowly escape Berlin with their lives. They bring fehdegeist, the
German spirit of endurance and constancy with them as they embark
upon a long ship ride to Texas, where they are pioneers in a new
land. Can their relationship survive the personal trials that await
them?
As war rears its ugly head with the Civil War in the United
States, the cousins must once again ardently defend their choices.
Will Ernst, a leader in the community and opponent of slavery,
consent to fight for the freedoms desired by the Confederacy, as he
did in his homeland? Will Henri oppose his cousin?
