On the Road to Vengeance

A Historical Western Adventure Novel

When the dam breaks above Thornton’s Creek, Jim Thornton loses everything. His parents are gone, his ranch is washed away, and his fiancée abandons him for a richer man. All that remains are a handful of desperate survivors, a herd of suspiciously branded cattle, and two hundred miles of unforgiving Colorado wilderness.

Sarah Mitchell is no stranger to hardship and loss. When disaster strikes, she organizes the frightened townsfolk, tends the wounded, and refuses to give in to despair. She sees through Jim’s doubts and recognizes the leader he does not yet believe he can become.

Jim never asked to lead anyone, but the survivors’ only hope lies in reaching a distant railhead. As they drive the cattle west, a ruthless syndicate sends hired guns to reclaim what they call stolen property. With enemies closing fast and the wilderness against them, can Jim and Sarah get their people to safety before the trail claims them all?
