From the underworld of the Ojuela Mine to the majestic Sierra Madre Mountains and across the desert plains of northern Mexico, a boy is forced to survive and grow into manhood through a turbulent decade that erupted into the bloodiest revolution of the twentieth century--the Mexican Revolution of 1910. On the run for a murder he didn't commit, forced to hide even his name, Arnulfo Triana is swept into a maelstrom of tragedy as revolutionaries, led by his mentor and friend Pancho Villa, collide with the forces of a corrupt dictator. Black Sun is based on actual events. A young man's life unfolds against a background of poverty, injustice and political corruption that finally explodes into a devastating revolution.
