The year is 1837. The fur trade that bred a generation of daring mountain men is in decline. A trapper by the name of Hugh Falconer knows it's time to look for new horizons, and he looks westward.Organizing a brigade of fiercely independent mountain men is no easy task but Falconer pulls it off, and he keeps them together as he leads them on a trail of constant danger, across the worst desert in the West, over savage mountains, through hostile Indian territory, and into a California of wealth, women, and wine-and Mexicans who aren't fond of interlopers.The journey was an ordeal. Now Falconer and his brigade of hardcases have to survive in a hostile new land. Among them is the callow youth named Eben Nall, who was seeking adventure and found much more-a courage he didn't know he had, and a beautiful young Mexican woman he needed more than breath itself.THE FIRST NOVEL IN A NEW TRILOGY OF EPIC MOUNTAIN MAN TALES BY THE AUTHOR OF HIGH COUNTRY AND BATTLE OF THE TETON BASIN.

Legendary mountain man Hugh Falconer loved the high country, where he lived in splendid isolation. But when he has to save a wagon train of pioneers from slaughter at the hands of a half-breed killer and a marauding Pawnee war party, everything changes. The first blizzards of winter are sweeping down from the north as Falconer leads the people he has promised to protect-and a woman he can't help but want-into a secluded mountain valley to survive until spring. He thought it would be a safe haven. But he was wrong. A man had come before them, a man who ruled the valley as his own private kingdom-a mountain man whose prowess matches Falconer's own. Falconer has a choice to make: strike a devil's bargain or engage in a no-holds-barred fight with a man who is every bit his equal-if not better.
