A brand new Western from Robert Hanlon!
In the scorched borderlands of post–Civil War Texas, Timber, a U.S. Marshal carved hollow by loss and violence, rides under a quiet mandate that no one else knows exists—and no one would envy if they did. Authorized by the governor to end threats the law cannot openly touch, Timber operates beyond warrants and mercy, answering only to his own grim code.
When a string of massacres along the frontier reveals the rise of a ruthless outlaw confederation—men who wear badges stolen from the dead and sell protection through terror—Timber is sent to erase them. But as he tracks the gang across burned towns, dry riverbeds, and forgotten settlements, he discovers their leader is not just another killer, but a former lawman who understands the system as well as Timber does—and uses it without restraint.
Each confrontation strips away another layer of Timber’s already-thin humanity. Old wounds reopen: the family he buried, the wives he outlived, the faith he lost in anything resembling justice. With every body left behind, Timber becomes more legend than man—feared by townsfolk, hunted by politicians, and whispered about like a curse that rides a gray horse.
As the line between outlaw and lawman collapses, Timber must decide whether the West can still be saved through force—or whether he himself is simply another necessary evil, riding toward an end he no longer intends to survive.
In a land where peace is temporary and violence is honest, Timber delivers justice the only way he knows how: completely, finally, and at terrible cost.
