Six hundred miles from a railroad head in Texas, Chet Byrnes and a handful of cowboys set out to build a new life on the Arizona frontier. Behind the Byrnes family is a tale of bloodshed and blood feuds. What lies ahead is any kind of future they can scrape together out of a merciless landscape—as long as they're willing to make it on their own.

From a woman who lays claim to Chet’s heart to a land ripe for grazing, the Arizona territory begins to open its arms to the dauntless determination of the Byrnes family. But with every success there rises up a gathering danger. A sheriff who won’t do his job. Trigger happy outlaws competing to kill. And a mysterious rancher hell bent on running a herd across Chet’s land—and forcing the Texan into a war . . .
