Three destinies, one relentless struggle-and a land that promises everything but forgives nothing.This thrilling saga is set against the backdrop of the conquest of the American West and the bitter battles against the Comanche, who are fighting bloody conflicts to defend their homeland of endless prairies and huge bison herds. Stella Carter flees with her husband from racism in the East to Texas and narrowly survives one of these raids. She must fight for survival as a slave to the Comanches in the hope of seeing her abducted daughter again. Meanwhile, the young Benjamin rises from fugitive hitman to the ranks of the cavalry, where, contrary to his past, he becomes a life-saving hero to his troops. Henry is also on the run from the law and a dangerous gang of outlaws who won't let him escape. He soon realizes that even among the cowboys of the great cattle drives, he cannot escape the law of the loaded gun. In the fort of the badly battered army, the paths, and destinies of the main characters cross. Will Texas be the land of opportunity for them - or are they doomed, just like the roaming, fugitive warriors? Irene Sandell has created an exciting epic. The main characters will captivate you.
