Carolina Bounty Hunter: A Western Adventure (A Boone: Carolina Bounty Hunter Western)

By Larry Linder

A brand new Western adventure set on the frontier! In this gripping tale of identity, loyalty, and survival, Boone--born Josiah Roche--emerges as the Carolinas' most legendary bounty hunter. Found abandoned in 1755 at just two months old, he was taken in by the Cherokee and raised as Onacona, son of War Chief Wohali and brother to Waya and Sequoyah. By sixteen, he was a formidable warrior, honed by the wilds of the frontier. But when Wohali dies, Peace Chief Gawonisgi exiles him to the world of the white man, bestowing the name Boone. Adrift, he pairs with a trapper named Meriwether, chasing beaver pelts for two years until the trade dwindles, and Boone settles near Charlotte to stay close to his Cherokee kin. Fate soon reveals his true origins when he meets a woman who turns out to be his aunt, unveiling his birth name and a white family he never knew. Straddling two worlds, Boone finds his calling after spotting a wanted poster. With his Cherokee-honed tracking skills, he becomes a peerless bounty hunter, his reputation catching the eye of both the British and General Francis Marion, the elusive "Swamp Fox." On one fateful hunt, he crosses paths with Odette Lejeune, and their love ignites a dream of a future together--a home for their soon-to-be family. Driven to provide for Odette and her kin, Boone takes on his boldest bounty yet: Captain Thoreau, the infamous Blood Pirate. But when the truth behind Thoreau's crimes unravels, Boone must choose between greed and honor, a decision that will define him. As war looms, he faces an even graver choice--align with the British or the Carolina Militia. After marrying Odette and welcoming their first child, Boone's life takes a dark turn: captured and forced aboard a ship bound for England, he finds himself at the mercy of the sea and his captors. Salvation comes from two unexpected allies, but will it be enough? Join Boone Josiah Roche, known to the Cherokee as Onacona, on this epic journey of courage and redemption. Will he defy the odds, survive the perils of war and exile, and return to the arms of his beloved wife and child?
