Frontier Scout, Dan'l Boone #13

Peace has returned to the frontier after Dan'l Boone brokered a truce with Chief Eagle Hawk's tribe—but when the greedy trapper Matthew Loring moves in to poach furs from Indian hunting grounds, his theft sparks a dangerous chain reaction. Now the sacred war belt is being passed from tribe to tribe, and only the frontier scout can intercept the messengers before an unstoppable alliance of warriors ignites the plains in flames.

Dan'l Boone's bond with Red Eagle, a warrior he bested in combat, deepens into a blood brotherhood ceremony that promises peace between their peoples—but hotheaded settlers have other plans. When a few troublemakers decide to break the peace and raid the tribe, Boone must race against time to prevent a war that could destroy everyone involved.

When frontier scout Dan'l Boone agrees to pilot Caleb Fraim's supply-laden riverboat to Louisville, he knows the journey downriver will be treacherous—hostile tribes and border bandits are the least of their worries. At the settlement called Devil's Landing, run by the ruthless Sterling Wayne, Boone discovers that Wayne has turned the remote outpost into a personal fiefdom, exploiting both settlers and Native peoples alike through fraud and intimidation. With several of his men jailed on false charges and Wayne blocking their departure, Boone must outmaneuver the crooked operator and his gang to free his crew and get the boat safely downriver.

Dan'l Boone's trapping season comes to a harrowing close when hostile Indians discover his fur cache, forcing him to flee downriver in his canoe. Pursued relentlessly, the frontiersman makes a desperate gamble—paddling straight into treacherous rapids that have never been crossed, knowing it's his only chance at survival. What awaits him on the other side tests not just his skill, but his will to return to the wilderness that defines him.
