About This Book
A young college graduate returns to his rural home and learns that his uncle has been killed and his property destroyed by marauding Nightriders, prompting him to abandon urban prospects and seek vengeance. The narrative follows his adjustment to mountain life, interactions with local families, a growing attachment to a young woman, and repeated confrontations with violent, jealous hillmen. Episodes shift between tense pursuits and quieter domestic scenes—meals, hunting, and community talk—highlighting tensions over lawlessness, personal honor, and the clash between educated ambition and the rough codes of a frontier region.
