Overview
Paul remembers nothing from before the conflict. Twelve years old, he is no longer a child. He is a warriorāone of a handful of elite commandos who live only to fight the corrupt government of Nagala. He has no family but the boys who fight beside him, and he owns nothing but his AK-47 rifle. This is the only life he has ever known, and it is one he understandsāright until the day theĀ standoff ends and his life changes forever.

Paul buries his AK and heads north to attend school and attempt to live life as just another child. But at night,Ā the battlefield consumes his dreams. When a rogue faction stages a coup in the capital and Paulās adoptive father is put in prison, the boy turns into a warrior once more. It is too late for him to have a childhood, but Paul will do whatever it takes to guarantee himself a future.
