Yakima Henry may be the toughest man in Arizona Territory—but as a half-white, half-Indian, he has to be. So when a pack of thieving curs leaves him in rough country minus one prized horse and two well-worn boots, he aims to get back what's his. The hell Henry raises in the process lands him in jail—but opportunity is about to spring him out.

He's surrounded by desperadoes and savage men. The O'Shannon's need a hard man to lead them through hell to save their family—and their fortune.
