Stranger : A Classic Western Adventure (Westward Western Saga)

Wes Avery has spent years riding freight roads and keeping other men alive.
Then a dying friend asks him for one last favor.

He is to protect his sister and her eight-year-old daughter from the Coyle family, and get them to Larkin alive.

Lacey Reed has already watched the Coyles burn her homestead and hunt her brother into the winter. Her daughter has not spoken since.
Now an armed stranger rides into her yard carrying news of her brother’s death, asking Lacey to trust him with the only family she has left.

The trail to Larkin crosses frozen country where hunger, cold, and one bad step can kill as surely as a bullet.
Behind them, Amos Coyle and his sons keep coming.
Ahead stands the caprock, a mountain wall buried in ice.

Wes knows how to fight men.
He can read weather, find shelter, and keep a failing horse on its feet.
What he doesn’t know is how to draw a frightened child back from silence, or how to get them through alive.

Every mile brings the Coyles closer.
Can Wes keep his promise with winter ahead and the killers behind?
