Victories aren't won by swords alone!
Facing an invasion by overwhelming numbers, King Halleck marches his rapidly-gathered army to a rugged mountain pass in the middle of the desert. Sadly, at the last castle before entering the desert, the king's elderly seneschal is thrown by a skittish horse and dies. With no alternative, King Halleck appoints the teenage son of the castle seneschal to become the manager of his army's camp.
Young Galloway has never lived outside his calm, orderly castle. Thrown into the chaos of an army hurrying to get to the mountain pass before their enemies, Galloway discovers himself totally inadequate for his new job. Finding himself responsible for providing food, water, horses, hay, weapons, and supplies for 5,000 knights and soldiers ... with no resources at his command, Galloway frets; without supplies, the army fails and his kingdom falls beneath a massive invading force.
Challenged to control his brash, impulsive best friend, and Baron Theodolf's beautiful but haughty and demanding daughter, Galloway struggles with a dwindling store of food to feed an army of hungry soldiers. Angry captains and cooks revile his failures ... and soon everyone hates him. Yet, when the war goes badly, Galloway must prove that his management skills are as imperative to victory as the sword of any warrior.
