☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# Lone Eagle #1 The inaugural story follows a shirtless archer named Atsani who challenges a rival tribe to settle a quarrel through single combat. After Atsani's swift arrows prove superior in battle, he is defeated and beaten, but his conqueror—a warrior named Arrow—shows mercy and refuses to kill him. The two become friends, with Arrow earning the name "Lone Eagle" after a cat's claw necklace grants him the strength of talons, and he is recognized as a chief among chiefs. A subsequent tale depicts white soldiers and a figure called "Redskin" engaged in frontier combat, where the Redskin uses a mountain lion to aid his escape from pursuers before being confronted by the white chief in a final confrontation.
Young Atsani must navigate his tribe's expectations when his compassion for animals sets him apart—and earns him a dangerous rival in the hot-tempered Two Drums. When a mountain cat's attack forces a reckoning between the boys, Atsani discovers that true courage comes not from aggression, but from mercy and skill, leading to a final test that will earn him both a new name and his place as a man.
In the dusty frontier town of Blazing Guns, constable Jerry Barton—quiet, slow-tongued, and feared for his quick fists and quicker gun—walks a thin line between order and violence. When a federal marshal arrives to enforce the law, their clash of wills ignites a deadly confrontation that leaves one man dead and the town’s uneasy peace shattered.
When Swift Rider cuts down a man being hanged by a tribe he considers friends, he accepts the stranger's story—until evidence forces him to confront a terrible truth he caused. Faced with the knowledge that he saved a murderer and allowed an innocent girl to die, Swift Rider must decide what justice means when his own mistake has already been made.
During a clash between his people and white soldiers, Lone Eagle spares the life of a young captive soldier and takes his silver bugle as victory medicine instead of his scalp—a choice that earns him scorn from his own warriors. Years later, when the Swift Rider learns the bugle once belonged to Captain Pankin and brings him to Lone Eagle's village, the two former enemies must decide whether the past can truly be put to rest. A moving tale about honor, mercy, and the possibility of brotherhood beyond the wounds of war.
