From the Spur Award-winning author, the first in a captivating new multigenerational saga chronicling the adventures of the pioneering Harrigan family as they brave crossing the American West, fighting to survive in the dangerous wilderness—and against even deadlier people—to forge a better life for themselves. Mackworth “Mack” Harrigan’s family legacy burned to the ground in the spring of 1849.

If the Harrigans have a future, it lies out west in open country where they can build whatever lives they choose.

And as Mack and his family adapt to their merciless surroundings, they realize they must enforce their own laws and dispense their own justice. . .
