Shadow Of The Hawk
(2026)(The first book in the Scout Of The Untamed Frontier series)
A novel by Robert Hanlon
The first adventure in a Frontier Scout series you won’t want to forget comes from Robert Hanlon.
It is 1857, and the mud of Independence, Missouri, is a sucking mire of desperate dreamers pushing west. For eight years, Rafe Dalton has used the high country as a shield, running from the bloody memory of a Kentucky land feud and the brother he left behind. Known as the "Shadow Hawk" for his ghost-like tracking, he agrees to guide Thaddeus Ironclad's vulnerable wagon train across the unforgiving Nebraska Territory.
But the plains are bleeding. A ruthless black-market trader named Vance "Crow" Blackthorn is arming Pawnee war parties with stolen United States Army rifles. Led by the fierce War Chief Flint Talon, the Pawnee are slaughtering settlers to drive up Blackthorn's protection prices, leaving a trail of burning canvas and broken bodies in their wake.
When a devastating ambush at the Platte River leaves ten-year-old Tanner Quill orphaned, Rafe’s strict personal code forces him to pull the boy from the freezing, blood-stained water. The choice binds him to the child's survival, and Rafe realizes he cannot run anymore. To break Blackthorn's deadly conspiracy before the powder cache sets the entire territory on fire, Rafe must forge uneasy alliances with a mixed-blood scout and the proud Sioux leader, Chief Iron Wing.
From the suffocating dust of massive buffalo stampedes to the blinding whiteouts of Laramie Mountain avalanches, Shadow of the Hawk is a brutal, action-dense frontier epic. In a world where the land itself is an indifferent, lethal adversary, a haunted loner must finally stand his ground—proving that while the prairie does not forgive running forever, redemption can still be bought with blood and black powder.
