Blood on the Texas Plains (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798996134021)

Levi Morgan spent fifteen years building a life that could outrun what he used to be.

A gunfighter turned rancher, he broke ground on the Texas plains, raised a family, and made himself believe the man he'd been was buried deep enough to stay buried. He built fences and mended them and drove cattle and learned, slowly and imperfectly, how to be a father - how to be something other than what he'd been. How to put down the weight he'd carried so long he'd forgotten it was there.

Then the smoke appeared on the southern horizon.

And the name that came with it was one he'd been waiting to hear since he was seventeen years old.

Red Crow is coming.

A legend carved from violence and patience, Red Crow has been watching the Morgan land for years - waiting for the moment to take it. Not because he needs it. Because he has always known that Levi Morgan's peace was borrowed time.

What follows is a reckoning built across a lifetime. A father and his children learning the cost of what they've built. A drifter named Logan Cassidy who rides in off the south road carrying his own wreckage and finds, for the first time in two years of moving, something worth staying for. A family that must choose, again and again, what it means to stand their ground - and what it means to protect the people standing on it beside them.

Set against the vast, unforgiving beauty of the Texas plains in 1887, Blood on the Texas Plains is a story about faith and family, about the price of peace and the cost of keeping it, about the men and women who build something worth having in difficult country and refuse to let it go.

It is also the beginning of something larger.

Blood on the Texas Plains is the first book in The Morgan Legacy - a five-book generational saga following the Morgan and Cassidy families across four generations of Texas history, from 1859 to the turn of the century. A saga built around a compass, a table, an oak tree, a constellation called the rose, and the question at the heart of every life:

What are you willing to build - and what are you willing to do to keep it?
