About This Book

A wagon-train of emigrants crossing a vast plain confronts sudden, deadly raids by mounted attackers, prompting desperate defenses led by an older guide and other stalwart men. Amid the skirmishes a young woman is separated after a wild chase, forcing her into a frantic attempt to rejoin the party while scouts and defenders repel repeated assaults. The narrative shifts between tense camp fortifications, fast-paced pursuits across open country, and personal courage under fire, while fractures of trust and suggestions of treachery complicate survival as night and the elements heighten peril.
