Opis

Branded a traitor to the Confederacy, Jonas Livingston finds himself on the run as a man without a country. In the wake of the Civil War and the death of his father, he vows revenge against Grant Templeton, a robber baron who severed Jonas' hand at a young age, and swindled the Livingston family out of their inheritance. With a mask, a flying machine, a prosthetic hand and vengeance in his heart, he takes to the skies as the outlaw only known as "The Winged Devil." Jonas teams up with the sky captain of an airship and his crew, and learns the art of robbing trains as they discover Grant's nefarious plot to resurrect the Confederacy and take over the nation. Maria Garcia is the daughter of an abusive matador who died in a bull fight. Left with no father to care for them, she and her family struggle to survive in the Arizona Territory, recently acquired by the Union. After her mother dies of tuberculosis, she watches as her family is torn apart and sold into slavery while she works as an indentured servant aboard luxury trains as a dancer and a waitress. Follow the adventures of a man and a woman from opposite worlds as they unite under a common enemy and they fall in love under the most unlikely circumstances. They both embark on the journey of a lifetime where they find themselves, each other, and learn the true meaning of love.
