Synopsis: THEY CAME TO THE FRONTIER WITH THEIR PASSION, THEIR HOPES...AND THEIR EXTRAORDINARY WILL TO SURVIVE. BRENNA CORBETT is a daughter of Ireland, a strong woman who can hear the spirits of horses. Her father is counting on her to bring the family to him in California. But between her old home and a new one lies a thousand miles of violence. CHARLEY ARMSTRONG is a gentle soul in a fierce new world, a West Point graduate who has lost his wife and child. Now assigned to Fort Laramie, he has come face-to-face with human atrocity--and the beginnings of a treachery that stretches all the way to Washington, D.C. JOSIAH BROWN is intent on forcing the military to take revenge against the tribes who murdered his brother. Disguised as Indians, his band of mercenaries will prey on the innocent settlers bound for the West...until he meets his match on a lonely prairie ridge. MATILDA CASTILLA is a towering sensual beauty with ivory-handled pistols strapped on each hip. Born in Santa Fe, she travels West with Brenna--and brings with her a legacy of loss and vengeance that will explode upon them all. In a land of towering mountains and endless vistas, the worst deeds of men have touched off a tragic feud among soldiers, natives and criminals. Now, for a determined band of pioneers, survival means journeying through a firestorm--with all the courage that is in their hearts and souls.
