Beyond the County Line

Beyond the County Line

The law has its limits. A son's love does not.

In the rugged Appalachian mountains following the Civil War, fourteen-year-old Silas Stafford returns from a day of hunting to find his family cabin ransacked, his mother and younger sister missing, and the tracks of a wagon leading east.

He knows who took them. And he knows where they're headed.

When Sheriff Brody refuses to pursue the kidnappers beyond his jurisdiction, Silas faces an impossible choice: accept the law's limitations or cross the county line and risk his life to save the only family he has left.

With the help of Caleb, a resourceful young freedman, and Duke, a weathered mountain trapper with a lifetime of hard-earned knowledge, Silas sets out across unforgiving wilderness in pursuit of ruthless men trafficking captive women toward the southern markets.

But the mountains hold dangers of their own, and every passing hour brings his family closer to a fate from which there may be no return.

As the pursuit turns deadly, Silas discovers that courage is not the absence of fear—and that saving the people you love may demand more than you ever imagined you could give.

Beyond the County Line is a gripping historical Appalachian adventure about family, loyalty, injustice, and a boy forced to grow into a man before his time.
