Alone & Afraid: A Western Series - Paperback

by Ash Lingam (Author)

Some are taken for profit. Others, for power. All must fight to survive.

By 1845, the Yellowstone Valley was no stranger to violence. But when slavers cross into sacred lands, they stir a fury they can't outrun. Money Penny is gone-snatched alongside a young Crow girl. The compound reels, but no one takes it harder than Marshal Walker and his Crow wife, Bar-Chee. The boy they adopted is headed for Fort Boise, bound in chains with three wagons full of valley Indians-sold off to fight in a war not their own.

Levi Johnson rides west with Captain Will Forrester, chasing a trail cold with danger. But time is running out, and Marshal Walker refuses to wait any longer. He rides out, heartsick and angry, toward a reckoning no father should ever have to face.

Inside the prison wagons, Money and the girl know what's coming-and what must be done. In the shadow of a brutal fate, they hatch a desperate plan. One chance. No guarantees. But freedom is worth the risk.

In the wilds of the West, there are no promises-only the strength to fight and the will to escape.
