Overview

Kidnapped allies. A stagecoach ambush. And a boy too stubborn to quit... Fourteen-year-old Benjie Willow is barely catching his breath after surviving the Red River massacre. Now recovering in El Paso alongside the grizzled frontiersman Malvo Tanner and the quiet Choctaw scout Chito-Oche, he's finally found a glimmer of stability-until the frontier snatches it away again. When the trio signs on as guards for a Butterfield Overland Stage hauling silver through outlaw country, they know the risks. But nothing prepares Benjie for the ambush that follows-gunfire in the dust, comrades captured, and a bounty on their heads. Benjie is the only one left free. And he's the only one who knows what really happened. Now, with nothing but his instincts, a borrowed rifle, and a fierce determination not to lose the only family he has left, Benjie must grow up fast. In a world where coming-of-age means life or death, he's about to learn what it truly costs to stand alone. Will Benjie outwit the men who took everything-or die trying to get it back?
