What makes a soldier or soldier? Is it his soulless commitment to his Regiment? To his duties? To the Crown? Or is it something else?
There is a saying that composition and combat are two separate worlds; I say otherwise.
What makes a soldier is his passion. What makes a soldier is his willingness. What makes a soldier is music.
This is the story of a young man who loved both worlds with all his heart and his journey to become a part the best musical force in the world.

"You have to stop." she whispered urgently. "You're placing too much of this war onto your own shoulders, when you have hundreds of men behind you willing to help you carry it."

She was an accident. That's what she really was. Born a royal. Raised a commoner. An insignificant girl, born to have children and make her future husband happy. Never would she imagine that her father was a cast out king and her mother the daughter of a lord. Never would she imagine that she could be raised to be so much more; a warrior, a princess, or whatever she wanted to be. Never had she been told this as a child because she had been just that, a child. She would never have a perfect childhood and never would she be able to have that special bond with her parents.
