[an] epic of the 1840s frontier." —Dallas Morning News With soaring and masterful prose, James Carlos Blake brings to life an enthralling historical time and place—and a cast of memorable characters—in a stunning tale of dark instinct, blood reckoning, and fates forged in the zeal of America's "Manifest Destiny."

And a family bond tempered in hot blood is tested in the cruel, all-consuming fires of war and conscience.
