A Classic Western Adventure Novel

By: Johnnie Burns

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In the shadowed streets of Blackthorne, Colorado, Marshal Edward Morgan stands at the edge of despair. The town he's sworn to protect is unraveling at the seams, caught in the tumult of a booming gold rush and a chilling spree of murders, the first in decades. With his back against the wall, Edward's battle-worn spirit faces the ultimate test.

Can he marshal his fading strength to defend his town one last time?

Samuel Marcus is a young deputy with ambitions as vast as the Texas plains he left behind. Summoned by Edward, his old friend and mentor, Samuel envisions a fresh start and a chance to outrun the shadows of his past. But Blackthorne is far from the orderly haven he expected. Confronted with a town teetering on the brink of chaos and a leader who seems to have lost his way, Samuel's resolve is put to the test.

Is he the hero Blackthorne needs, or is the weight of redemption too heavy a burden to bear?

When even more trouble arrives, threatening to bring the demons of both of their pasts back to haunt them, Edward and Samuel hover on the brink of failure. Will they choose to stand together and defeat this new threat as allies, or will past failure undermine their hope and deprive them of a chance for a bright future?
