The untamed frontier stretches far and wide, but danger always knows where to strike.

When a desperate letter arrives from his wife's estranged uncle, Aaron, Card Jordan faces a new kind of wilderness—the snow-capped peaks of Colorado, where claim jumpers and cutthroats rule the mountains. Aaron's gold and silver mine has drawn the attention of ruthless killers, and he's counting on Card's iron will and fast draw to bring justice.

But as Card tracks Aaron's shadowy enemies, he discovers a network of violence and greed far deeper than one man's survival. Armed with his Colts and a badge that carries as much weight as the past he can't shake, Card must battle lawless gunmen, treacherous terrain, and his own doubts about whether redemption is possible in a land where justice often comes at the barrel end of a gun.

Can Card protect what's right without losing his soul? Or will Colorado's rugged peaks become his final resting place?
