Finally Wes is settled in his life in Agua Perlado, but life and fate have a great deal more in store for him.

He is surprised to meet two people from his long-ago past. One is a powerful friend and a force for good in the region, and the other is an enemy he didn’t even know he had.

The action continues as Wes accepts a special appointment that he never expected, battles an enemy who is more cunning and vicious than any Comanche, and has a first-hand experience with the magic that is common at that place on the horizon where reality just folds into imagination.
