The White Arapaho
(2025)(The first book in the James Cort: Lawman Western series)
A Story by G Wayne Tilman
A Boy Forged in Fire. A Warrior Torn Between Worlds. A Legend Born on the Frontier.
Ten-year-old Jamie Cort watched in horror as outlaws murdered his uncle and burned their trading wagon to ashes. Left for dead in the Wyoming wilderness, he was found by Small Raven, chief of an Arapaho band, who named him Siiyonii—"found in the rocks." Raised as a warrior, Jamie mastered the bow, the knife, and the ways of the wind. But the scars of his past never healed, and the call of his blood ran deeper than the braids in his sun-bleached hair.
Years later, whispers spread across the plains of a fierce "White Arapaho"—a blond-haired, blue-eyed warrior whose deadly skills struck fear into the hearts of enemies. When his birth father, Jackson Cort, hears these tales, he rides into hostile territory with a desperate hope: that the son he buried long ago might still be alive.
Reunited, Jamie faces an impossible choice. Return to the world of starched shirts and settled land? Or embrace the nomadic freedom of the People who saved him? But destiny has other plans. Visions from a dream quest foretell a path drenched in violence and three golden-haired women—one destined for tragedy. As the West erupts in conflict between bluecoats and tribes, Jamie must become the bridge between two worlds… or watch both burn.
Experience the explosive origin story of the man who would wear the badge.
The White Arapaho is the gripping prequel to the bestselling Lawman James Cort series, answering readers’ demands for the untold saga of Cort’s Arapaho roots. From the ashes of a wagon to the bloody streets of San Francisco, this is the journey that forged a legend.
