Sworn to Justice
(2024)(The first book in the Sheriff Sonny Babcock Classic Western series)
A novel by Orris Slade
The cost of justice is steep—but Sheriff Sonny Babcock is ready to pay the price.
In the aftermath of the Civil War, Austin, Texas, is a town caught between the past and the future. Trust is scarce and lawlessness lurks just around the corner.
Sheriff Sonny Babcock, a man hardened by the war and bound by duty, has sworn to keep the fragile peace.
When a brutal gang led by the infamous Alford "Big Al" Borgeman begins terrorizing the region, Sheriff Babcock faces his greatest trial yet.
Big Al is a cold-blooded criminal whose men leave a trail of blood and fear in their wake. Sonny knows facing him will require more than just courage—it will demand a reckoning with the very soul of justice.
As the gang's reign of terror intensifies, Sonny must battle the physical threat posed by the outlaws and the fear threatening to tear his community apart.
The law, once a simple line drawn between right and wrong, becomes increasingly murky as Sonny must make hard choices between justice and vengeance.
When the violence strikes too close to home, the sheriff's resolve is tested, and he realizes that bringing Big Al to justice may require crossing lines he never thought he'd cross.
With the final showdown on the horizon, the stakes have never been higher.
