True to frontier life, award-winning author Reg Quist delivers a young man who finds himself in a constant struggle between vengeance...and the law.
Following the loss of his wife and young daughter, Jacob Jamison turns his ranch over to his brother and takes his teenage son, Rory, off on an adventure meant to heal their souls. As the two men work on an Idaho gold claim for three summers, they bank considerable riches.
Midway through the third summer, thieves raid their camp-murdering Jacob and wounding Rory.
On the lookout for his father's murderers and with three graves behind him in Montana, young Rory rides home-just in time to confront sophisticated rustlers who are hiding behind the law and attempting to impound cattle from his family's Colorado ranch. Not ready to settle down, he makes it his mission to sort out the rustler gang.
Full of intrigue, gunfire, and wild chases through wondrous Colorado hills, Rory is on a steadfast mission to avenge his father and protect the last of his legacy in the form of a family-owned ranch. But taking on life as it presents itself to him...is no easy task.
