The bestselling masters of the Great American Western deliver a thrilling new chapter in the Forever Texas sagaâas the ranch-building Royles prepare for the deadliest conflict in U.S. history âŚ
Civil War is brewing. Everything is about to change.
Based on true events.
When Regis Royle dreams, he dreams big. And since everythingâs bigger in Texas, his dream is to make the Royle Ranch the biggest cattle supplier in the country.
Problem is, the country is splitting apart, people are taking sides, and everyoneâs gearing up for a full-blown War Between the States. Regisâs kid brother, Shepley, has enlisted in the Army. His trusted foreman âBoneâ McGraw has left to rejoin the Texas Rangers. And the rail lines have been rerouted for the war effort. Which means Regis has to transport his cows the hard way: a cattle drive âŚ
This will be one hellish journey heâll never forget. If he survives.
With only a skeleton crew of ranch hands, Regis takes the lead to drive the cattle northwardâfacing more perils than he ever imagined. He and his men are attacked by a brutal, thieving band of Apache, Comanche, Kiowa, and half-breeds.
Theyâre plagued by violent storms, relentless heat, stampeding herds, and poisonous snakes. When Regis gets separated from his men, he fears heâs reached the end of the line. But giving up is not an option.
A Texan knows he has to keep fightingâeven in Americaâs darkest hourâto keep the dream alive âŚ
