There are small towns along the coast an some inland but it is largely rural. It is peaceful and sparsely settled land. Sam Farbro is the young son of farmer. His only problem is how to convince the girl he loves to trust him and that his feelings for her are sincere. Through no fault of his own the girl has good reason not to trust him. The trust comes when the girl and her parents are attacked by two raiders. Sam kills both the men. An act he never wishes never to repeat. But he has to kill again.
