He stayed quiet.
Silence won’t save him.
Thirteen years ago, Thomas Farrow reported Colonel Tate for selling rifles to the Comanche and murdering them for profit.
The outcome?
Tate buried the accusation, earned a promotion, and quietly ended Thomas’s career, but neither the truth nor Thomas’s failure to stop him ever left.
When Tate threatened his infant daughter, Ava, Thomas packed his wagon and disappeared.
He spent the next decade pulling teeth in towns that didn’t ask questions, always moving, always broke—but alive.
Fort Brazos was supposed to be two weeks of easy work and decent pay.
That is until General Mark Tate rode through the gates.
Peace talks ended with thirty-two unarmed Comanche dead in the dirt and Tate hailed as a hero. Thomas and Ava saw everything.
So did Rain Crow, the chief's daughter and the only warrior to escape.
Now Tate wants to bury the witnesses along with what they know. Reaching the territorial governor will mean crossing sixty miles of Comancheria with bounty hunters, soldiers, and hostile warriors closing in.
Rain Crow knows the land, but guiding Thomas and Ava means choosing justice over vengeance.
For Thomas, it means facing the man he once failed to stop.
How many lives is the truth worth this time?
A classic Western novel from Frank Wheeler, blending epic adventure with Western romance.
Each novel in the series is a standalone Western adventure that can be read in any order.
