Ranger Earl Winter, a five-year veteran, finds himself outgunned when the wanted outlaw Mike Reeser and his men open fire without warning, leaving him badly wounded and nearly dead.

Winter will have to muster every ounce of cunning and nerve to survive what comes next.

Texas Ranger Josh Kinnel hangs up his badge after five hundred grueling miles on the trail of the Macken gang leave him wounded, fevered, and bone-tired—ready for a quieter life in the Red Hills.

Now the ex-ranger must decide whether his new life can begin while injustice goes unchecked.

A wealthy tyrant named O'Hara has seized control of Three Forks, ignoring state law and ruling the town through intimidation and his hired guns—until a Texas Ranger rides in, determined to restore justice.

Frank North earns the deep trust of the Pawnee people while working at a trading post, and when the Army needs skilled scouts to campaign across the Great Plains around 1864, a general calls on him to recruit and lead a Pawnee company. Under North's command, the Pawnee fighters—equipped with Spencer carbines and fighting alongside a man they regard as a war chief—rack up victory after victory against their traditional rivals, the Sioux and Cheyenne.
