Product Description


Hood has picked the perfectly wrong time to return to Iron Gate. The town, plagued by the attacks of a dangerous mountain lion, is on edge. Worse yet, a mysterious stranger confronts a gang of outlaws including Emmett Stone, the man who murdered Hood s father four years ago. The year is 1888, and rejected by those who call him only 'Half-Breed,' Hood must figure out where his allegiances lie. What does it mean to be both white and Cherokee? How can he balance the urge to avenge his father's death with the wisdom passed down from his grandfather, Chief Namar? Hood was driven out of town four years ago, but this time, he s resolved to stay, and, if necessary, fight to reclaim his family s homestead. The deck is stacked against him, but he finds an unlikely friend in Ruben Fudd, a fellow woodsman and tough rodeo competitor. Hood and Fudd should fear for their lives, but they are determined to stop at nothing until justice is served and the safety of Iron Gate is restored.
