HTML:<p>Age 14: Orphan</p> <p>Age 15: Inmate</p> <p>Age 16: Outlaw</p> <p>Age 17: Killer</p> <p>In 1870s New Mexico, the territory is at a crossroads. The indigenous population is being driven out—and driven down—by the white settlers migrating west after the Civil War. The center of power isn't the governor but rather the Santa Fe Ring, a group of wealthy politicians, businessman, and landowners who exercise power through organized crime, theft, graft, and murder. Their main source of income is a mercantile store in Lincoln known as the House.</p> <p>After escaping jail, William Bonney—a.k.a. Billy the Kid—is a seventeen-year-old orphan who's been on the run for the better part of two years. All he wants is to belong—to find a place he can call home and people he can call family.</p> <p>He'd have been better off alone.</p> <p>Billy falls in with a gang of ruthless rustlers and murderers who work as muscle for the House. But when Billy crosses one of the members, the gang sets out to kill him.</p> <p>Billy narrowly escapes, finding refuge under the tutelage of John Tunstall, an English immigrant new to the territory who has his sights set on opening a business in Lincoln—and he's intent on competing directly with the House. But when Tunstall is murdered, any positive effect the mentor had on Billy is eradicated, leaving the Kid with only one thing on his mind ...</p> <p>Revenge.</p> <p>From orphan to outlaw to killer, this is the untold story behind the legend of Billy the Kid.</p>.
