"Could you look into the eyes of a man and pull your trigger and kill him stone dead?" Will hates his job as a blacksmith's apprentice. But as an orphan in eighteenth-century York, he doesn't have much choice - until he find out that one of his customers is a highwayman. Joining the robber gang brings wealth, new friends and adventure - everything a boy could dream of. But when people he cares about start getting hurt, Will discovers that it is easier to enter a life of crime than to leave it.
He got into it for the money. Can he get out with his life?
