The Mountain's Call: The Complete Saga
(2026)(A book in the Mountains Call series)
An omnibus of novels by Mike Mackessy
From the forge fires of 1753 Virginia to the savage high country of the 1824 Rocky Mountain fur trade, one family’s bloodline answers a call no true Mackessy man can refuse.
Born to gunsmiths, young Jacob battles jealous brothers, a greedy master, and the ashes of everything he loves to craft a rifle that becomes legend. With his bride Carolyn at his side, he rides west into Kentucky’s dark and bloody ground, laying the foundation of a dynasty built on iron, maple, and unyielding grit.
Across four generations the masterpiece rifle passes father to son—through Blackfoot war parties, Crow villages, brutal rendezvous, and the raw code of the mountain men. John fights for his life and loses everything he holds dear. Jake grows wild on the edge of civilization. And in 1824 young Jack rides as clerk for a massive trapping expedition, determined to prove himself hunter, trapper, and heir to a legacy written in powder smoke and mountain wind.
Raw, unflinching, and steeped in the real history of the frontier, Mike Mackessy’s four-book epic is a powerhouse saga of family, craftsmanship, betrayal, and the unrelenting pull of the high lonesome.
One rifle. Four generations. The mountains never let go.
