On the very start of his fourteenth year of life, Maw makes a wish upon a shooting star and from that moment, his life changes.

The price of all war is paid for with the blood of people, soldiers and civilians, adult, child and creatures alike.

Its purpose is not to glorify war, but to offer the reader, both young and older, an opportunity to feel what it was like for a man, woman or child to live through and to provide a flavour of the English Nationalism that prevailed then and since.
