Yakima Henry has been dealt more than his share of trouble—even for a half-white, half- Indian in the west. Now he's running a small Arizona horse ranch with his longtime love, Faith, and thinks he may have finally found his share of peace and prosperity. But his violent past is about to come calling.

Bill Thornton still carries the wound from where Faith—once his most valuable "entertainer"—shot him just before being carried away by that low-down breed Yakima. And the roadhouse proprietor, suffering from a bad case of blood poisoning, still carries a heart full of hatred for the both of them.

That's why he's sent a gang of sadistic bounty-hunters to ventilate Yakima and bring Faith back to him. And that's why Yakima's long-awaited peace will have to come at the end of a long, hard killing trail.
