The first adventure in a brand new blockbuster Western series from acclaimed author Ash Lingam!

When the Willow family traveled by wagon train down the Chisholm Trail, they found the perfect place to homestead. It was on the southern banks of the Red River in Northern Texas where they built their life’s dream. John and Mary Willow and their two sons, James and Benjie, drove stakes marking the land as theirs and started a small ranch. After four years of labor, they proved their idea to be a prosperous venture. For the first time in their lives, the Willows wouldn’t be poor.

When the Comanche war party struck that Friday morning, the Willow family was about to celebrate two birthdays. The twins had just turned fourteen. But a cloud of arrows darkened the sky and thumped into their targets, killing everyone in sight. Painted faces swarmed over the white trespassers as war cries filled the air. Red men stood shaking bloody wigs in their fists.

Malvo Tanner and his Choctaw friend, Chito Ochi, saw black smoke squirrel into the sky and knew a problem lay just over the horizon. When they walked their horses onto the small ranch, the Comanche were gone, and it appeared everybody was dead. That was when Malvo heard a boy stifle a gasp and shudder. Benjie Willow pulled himself up and out of the well, dripping wet. He was the only survivor.
