Framed for rustling crimes he didn't commit, Steve Adams watches helplessly as his ranch is sold and a noose waits for him—but as Straight Arrow, he launches a daring campaign of golden arrows to expose the real culprit, the Fire-Brand, and turn the suspicious ranchers of Sundown Valley into allies. When Steve finally emerges to lead them to the bandit's hideout, he'll have to outwit a deadly mountain trap to clear his name once and for all.

Four elite warriors—an archer, a knife fighter, a roper, and a hand-to-hand fighter—are chosen by their tribes and blessed by a medicine man to hunt down and kill Straight Arrow, the Comanche war chief who stands between them and their enemies' wealth. When the Four Horsemen of Hate close in together for what they believe will be their final attack, Straight Arrow must face all four at once in the hills. After turning their own weapons and strength against them, the war chief captures his attackers and teaches them a lesson about hatred that they won't soon forget.

A tale of cunning, courage, and the real secrets hidden behind ancient magic.

When everything hangs in balance, Straight Arrow discovers an unexpected way his friend's own harvest might turn the tide.
