After the Alamo and war between the states, the frontier of Texas was a wild place, with only a few good men to keep the peace: the Texas Rangers. Homesteaders, ranchers and the U.S. Army counted on the Rangers to protect the land from marauding Indians and Mexican greaser gangs. Talon Finley wanted revenge, but more importantly, justice. Just a kid himself, he turns his skill with horses and penchant for integrity into a stint as a Texas Ranger. In the vast expanse of the new frontier, from Texas to the Rockies, Talon and his trusted horse, Sam, take on trouble wherever they find it. T. T. Finley, raised on a ranch in Wyoming, heads east to attend finishing school, with a gun sewn into her petticoats. A crack shot, she foils a train robbery, uncovers a conspiracy of cattle rustlers, thieves and murderers... and makes the best doughnuts west of the Mississippi. Pogonip, the ice-fog condition prevalent in canyons in the old west, foreshadows the chilling reality and danger of a quest to make things right, by a boy who would become man and a girl who discovers her purpose.
