Description
Duncan McKaskel's decision to move his family west was motivated by a desire for a better life. However, he knew that this journey would come with its own set of dangers, including the exhausting terrain and punishing elements. His greatest concern, though, was the potential need to use violence against other men who might try to steal from him. A mysterious stranger, Con Vallian, appeared one night and saved McKaskel's life, but it is unclear whether Vallian's true interest lies with McKaskel himself or his wife, Susanna. As they continue on into the wilderness, McKaskel must navigate not only the threats outside his camp but also the enigmatic stranger within. This novel explores the tensions between violence and survival in the American West, where the boundaries between good and evil are often blurred.
