The thrilling, long-awaited return of the #1 New York Times
bestselling author of The Revenant
In 1866, with the country barely recovered from the Civil War,
new war breaks out on the western frontier - a clash of cultures
between a young, ambitious nation and the Native tribes who have
lived on the land for centuries. Colonel Henry Carrington arrives
in Wyoming's Powder River Valley to lead the US Army in defending
the opening of a new road for gold miners and settlers.
Carrington intends to build a fort in the middle of critical
hunting grounds, the home of the Lakota. Red Cloud, one of the
Lakota's most respected chiefs, and Crazy Horse, a young but
visionary warrior, understand full well the implications of this
invasion. For the Lakota, the stakes are their home, their
culture, their lives.
