AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF SONS OF FIRE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST Once mortal enemies, Frank and Patrick Fenn join forces to protect their family from the Union Army that has taken all they have in the bloody Missouri-Kansas war. Following the path of Confederate guerrilla William Quantrill and his outlaw raiders, the brothers seek sanctuary in Texas. Carrying all their possessions in a stolen military wagon, the Fenn brothers set out with their feisty sister, Caitlin; Frank's loyal wife, Jenny; a courageous half-breed named Trudy; Frank's young son; and an ailing infant. But harsh weather, horse-thieving refugees, and Yankee patrols are the least of their enemies. Across the frontier, the Fenn brothers find themselves wanted men. They are hunted by a ruthless Union commander and a murderous Osage tracker armed with the superior firepower of the repeating rifle. Their chase will end in an explosive showdown between those who kill for glory-and those who fight to survive.
