The Shepherd - Tristan Nettles - Bog

A young shepherd boy living between the no mans land of civilization and beyond is taken and made slave by an invading army enroute to his homeland. Led by an undefeated general with a penchant for cruelty, this unassuming adolescent careens his way into the commander's good graces through a witless charm. Finding out only all too late that the little shepherd boy was not at all what he had seemed, the unconquerable general and his army are led to their doom.
