Two tales. One blood-soaked frontier. Where justice rides hard, and survival costs everything.
Sam Gelder is a small-town marshal with a badge pinned loose and a daughter he can't protect from a family of killers who have seized a farmer's land and murdered his kin. When a sharp, hard-edged woman rides into Greenwood with a year of grief behind her and the Krainers in her sights, Gelder has to decide fast: is she his best chance at stopping them, or the match that burns his town to the ground?
A thousand miles west, a drifting horseman named Hoge Farrell makes one stupid mistake - he opens his mouth in a roomful of dangerous men and tells them where Quantrill's buried gold is. Now a ruthless gang wants him dead, a sharp-tongued woman riding beside him has secrets she hasn't shared, and the Army has questions nobody wants to answer. Farrell just wanted a ranch job. Instead he's got a target on his back and a treasure hunt he never asked for.
Two stories of grit, gunsmoke, and the hard frontier justice that separates the living from the dead-bound together in one unforgettable volume.
