William W Johnstone: The Texas Hill Country, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Introducing a bold new saga from the bestselling Johnstones. This is the epic story of new arrivals in the Old West---a proud family of dreamers in the untamed wilds of the Texas Hill Country . . .

They came to America to start a new life. Three brothers and their sister, the Braxton heirs lost everything they had in Europe so they boarded a ship to the Texas coast, hoping to stake a claim in the land of opportunity. They knew frontier life would be hard. But their troubles begin before they even reach Texas. A man is killed on board---a member of the fierce MacLochlainn clan who blame one of the Braxtons for his death. So begins a blood-drenched feud that will haunt and pursue them as they try to build a future in Texas Hill Country . . .

Now a fugitive on the run, the wrongly accused Perry Braxton changes his name and joins the Texas Rangers---waiting for the day his past catches up to him. His oldest brother, Athelston, struggles to build a ranch in Commanche territory while the middle brother Jeremy turns to gambling and running with outlaws. Their sister, Bodie, falls in love with a rugged frontiersman, who teaches her the importance of riding, hunting---and shooting---in a life-or-death game of survival. Each of the siblings have forged a path of their own. But when one of them is in trouble---and a rival is out for revenge---the Braxtons stick together. Because family is family. And blood is thicker than bullets . . .
