Description

Introducing a bold new saga from the bestselling Johnstones. This is the epic story of new arrivals in the Old West--a proud family of dreamers in the untamed wilds of Texas Hill Country . . .

They came to America to start a new life. Three brothers and their sister, the Baxter heirs lost everything they had in Europe so they boarded a ship to the Texas coast, hoping to stake a claim in the land of opportunity. They knew frontier life will be hard. But their troubles begin before they even reach Texas. A man is killed on board--a member of the fierce MaClochlainn clan who blame one of the Baxters for his death. So begins a blood-drenched feud that will haunt and pursue them as they try to build a future in Texas Hill Country . . .

Now a fugitive on the run, the wrongly accused Perry Baxter changes his name and joins the Texas Rangers--waiting for the day his past catches up to him. His oldest brother, Athelston, struggles to build a ranch in Commanche territory while the middle brother Jeremy turns to gambling and running with outlaws. Their sister, Bodie, falls in love with a rugged frontiersman, who teaches her the importance of riding, hunting--and shooting--in a life-or-death game of survival. Each of the siblings have forged a path of their own. But when one of them is in trouble--and a rival is out for revenge--the Baxters stick together. Because family is family. And blood is thicker than bullets . . .
