There’s no man alive—and no stretch of wasted desert or backwater dirt town—that’s going to come between a man and the only family’s he’s got left

Jared Sunnedon witnesses the slaughter of his parents when he and his family are attacked by Arapahos. The only survivors are Jared and his sister Kate, who are both taken prisoner. Then and there, the pair vow that if ever separated, they will never give up searching for each other.

After Kate is captured by Utes and subsequently sold off, Jared makes good on his promise and escapes imprisonment. But the hunt for his sister puts a hard edge on the young man, gaining him a reputation as a feared and bitter mad-dog killer. And that’s just the way Jared likes it.
