Descriere & specificații

An epic new western in the grand tradition of True Grit and Lonesome Dove "The best western I've read in a long, long time. Though a first novel, Daniels writes with the sure hand of an old-pro. His voice is authentic and riveting, and he's created a character in sixteen-year-old Jane to ride the river with. I can't recommend this one more highly!" Peter Brandvold, author of over 70 westerns, Out of nowhere Comanches attack-and sixteen year-old Jane narrowly survives the slaughter of her family and the kidnapping of her baby sister. Driven by grief and fury, she rides headlong into Indian territory, seeking vengeance. But the odds are stacked against a young girl on the trail, and Jane soon realizes she must disguise herself as a boy to join forces with a tough company of cowhands on a cattle drive to Dodge City. The harrowing trek pits her against tough drovers, raging rivers, ruthless soldiers, and ends in a bloody reckoning that forces Jane to discover her surprising capacity for love, survival-and revenge. "Daniels has crafted a mercilessly taut, masterfully paced, heart-pounding western that conjures such classics as Death Rides a Horse and True Grit ." -Jonathan Evison, New York Times Bestselling author of West of Here. "This authentic-feeling, exciting Western has elements of True Grit mixed with Red River and The Searchers , but it succeeds on its own terms. Like the spirited horses, its heroine prefers, it's quite a ride." David Morrell, New York Times bestselling au
