A man refuses to rest until he finds his family’s killer in this pulse-pounding tale of the American West. No child should have to witness what twelve-year-old Cord Malone sees the day his parents are murdered and his home burned to the ground. After he’s rescued from the blaze by his Uncle Jesse, the terrible images haunt him, as does the name of the man responsible: Eli Creed. Jesse tries to track Creed down, only to lose the man’s trail. But Cord won’t give up. He waits out his young years before setting out on a trail long gone cold—and one day, he will satisfy the need for revenge that burns inside him.

Raised among the Blackfoot, John Hawk is a valuable asset to the US Army. As a military scout at Fort Ellis, he is able to cross the line between two worlds — and help keep the peace. But when he disobeys a direct order from his commander, Hawk is immediately dismissed from his post. That was the army's first mistake.
