About This Book

A wounded man and a resolute young woman flee across an unforgiving Arizona desert, battling venom, thirst, alkali dust and the thorny terrain of cactus-strewn flats while pursued by hostile forces. Their flight passes ambushes, traps and perilous night marches, and the plot gradually exposes past entanglements and hidden obligations that complicate loyalties. Confrontations with betrayal and treachery culminate in desperate choices and a selfless sacrifice that settles old debts. The narrative emphasizes endurance, resourcefulness and the moral costs of past actions against a stark, sun‑blasted backdrop.
