They should have killed him when they had the chance. Left for dead in the ashes of a burned-out farmhouse, McCall "Mac" Patton crawls out of hell itself-wounded, alone... and carrying the ashes of his best friend. What follows is no longer survival. It's vengeance.
Hunted across the Kansas plains by a band of ruthless Redleg renegades led by the sadistic Captain John Merna, Mac turns the chase around. One by one, he will track them, break them, and make them pay for the blood they spilled. But the trail leads far beyond revenge.
Whispers of a long-lost Confederate treasure-buried deep in the Rocky Mountains-draw killers, outlaws, and desperate men into a deadly race west. An innocent family becomes the next target of Merna's madness, and along the way, Mac gets pulled into a fight that's bigger than his own. Now the trail runs through fire, blood, and the unforgiving wilderness of Colorado.
And at the end of it...only one man walks away.
Kurt James delivers a gripping Western tale of loyalty, loss, and relentless pursuit, where the past remains unforgettable and justice is carved with cold steel and hot lead.
