When lone gunman Deacon Blackwell stumbles on the charred ruins of a border village, he finds more than ash and blood—he finds a reason to fight.
The pueblo of Richo has been wiped off the map. A company of Texas Rangers slaughtered. Homes burned. Dozens dead. But in the smoking wreckage, Deacon uncovers a miracle—a mother and her two young children, barely alive, hidden beneath the rubble.
He could ride on. He should ride on.
But not this time.
The woman, Marya Hernandez, is running from something far worse than raiders. A savage gang led by the cold-eyed bandit king known only as El Tuerto—a man with one good eye and no mercy.
To save them, Deacon must head south—deep into the unforgiving heart of Mexico, where loyalty is bought, life is cheap, and the hunter quickly becomes the hunted.
With Texas Rangers hell-bent on revenge and outlaws gunning for blood, Deacon finds himself caught between two wars—one on the frontier, and one inside his own soul.
What is El Tuerto really after? Why does he want the Hernandez family dead? And what secret lies buried in Marya’s past that’s worth killing for?
As Deacon and his faithful gelding, King, race toward the distant safety of the Sierra Madre, they face ambushes, double-crosses, and death at every turn. With his Colts blazing and Winchester howling, the Yankee gunman must fight like a devil to protect the innocent in a land where justice is just another word for vengeance.
Outnumbered. Outgunned. Driven to the edge.
This is Deacon Blackwell’s stand. And he doesn’t plan to die easy.
His tombstone will read: Here lies Deacon Blackwell. No regard for his own life, no fear of certain death!
