A Classic Western Adventure

A classic western novel from Frank Wheeler with non-stop epic adventure and a blend of western romance

Doyle Baldwin left Ironwood Valley as a young soldier full of hope, dreaming of the day he’d return to open land, honest work, and the woman he planned to marry.
But war leaves its mark, and the home he comes back to isn’t the one he left.

His father is missing.
His fiancée is gone.
And something dark has taken hold of the valley.

The Brotherhood and its leader, Vince Kincaid, talk of progress and new opportunities. But behind their promises lies a network of fear.
Armed patrols, sudden disappearances, and threats to anyone who speaks out. Even the sheriff won’t stand in their way.

Doyle’s not looking for trouble. He just wants answers.

But when the trail leads him into the mountains and the truth hits close to home, walking away is no longer an option.
With the help of an old friend, he digs deep into the Brotherhood’s grip on Ironwood, uncovering labor camps, secret deals, and a long trail of vanished neighbors.

He doesn’t want another war.
He wants his home back.
But some things can’t be reclaimed without a fight.
How far will one man go to take back what was stolen?

Each novel in the series is a standalone western which can be read out of order.
