When Madeline Hammond stepped from the train at El Cajon, New Mexico, it was nearly midnight, and her first impression was of a huge dark space of cool, windy emptiness, strange and silent, stretching away under great blinking white stars. Miss, there's no one to meet you, said the conductor, rather anxiously. I wired my brother, she replied. "The train being so late - perhaps he grew tired of waiting. He will be here presently. But, if he should not come - surely I can find a hotel?" There's lodgings to be had. Get the station agent to show you. If you'll excuse me - this is no place for a lady like you to be alone at night. It's a rough little town - mostly Mexicans, miners, cowboys. And they carouse a lot. Besides, the revolution across the border has stirred up some excitement along the line. Miss, I guess it's safe enough, if you -

It is said that brothers have a special bond; those raised together will forever know and understand each other like no one else, but brotherly love means nothing in the world of kings. As far as Dace Colletto is concerned, that brotherly bond between him and his older brother was all a lie. There are no words that can be spoken that can heal the wounds his brother has inflicted upon him. There are no acts of love that can provoke forgiveness for the pain his brother has caused him. Peace has not breathed around Dace since before his mother’s death. And now, now there is only one thing that can bring peace amongst Dace’s family. Now, he must destroy his brother, and put an end to his reign for good. There is no question what he must do, the only questions that remain for Dace are about the ones he loves. Can he triumph and still keep his youngest brother Antony from acting too impulsively and getting himself killed? Can Dace keep his true love, Austin, from falling into a trap and becoming another one of his brother’s victims? Can he bring an army together strong enough to battle his brother’s? There is no question that there will be bloodshed. Someone will fall, and there is no doubt that an end will come to someone’s reign, but who will be wearing the crown at the end of this deadly game?

The last patches of snow, even in the most secluded gulches, had been licked up by the mounting sun; the waters of Coyote Creek had returned to the confines of the stream bed; in places a suggestion of green was making its appearance about the bases of grass clumps, and cottonwood buds were swelling. Four men sat on the bench before the bunkhouse of the H.C. ranch; one was braiding a belt, another whittling and two more, hats over their eyes to shield them from the brilliant light, joined in the desultory conversation from time to time.

Mr. William Hyde was discharged from Deer Lodge Penitentiary a changed man. That was quite in line with the accepted theory of criminal jurisprudence, the warden's discipline, and the chaplain's prayers. Yes, Mr. Hyde was changed, and the change had bitten deep; his humorous contempt for the law had turned to abiding hatred; his sunburned cheeks were pallid, his lungs were weak, and he coughed considerably. Balanced against these results, to be sure, were the benefits accruing from three years of corrective discipline at the State's expense; the knack of conversing through stone walls, which Mr. Hyde had mastered, and the plaiting of wonderful horsehair bridles, which he had learned. Otherwise he was the same "Laughing Bill" his friends had known, neither more nor less regenerate. Since the name of Montana promised to associate itself with unpleasant memories, Mr. Hyde determined at once to bury his past and begin life anew in a climate more suited to weak lungs. To that end he stuck up a peaceful citizen of Butte who was hurrying homeward with an armful of bundles, and in the warm dusk of a pleasant evening relieved him of eighty-three dollars, a Swiss watch with an elk's-tooth fob, a pearl-handled penknife, a key-ring, and a bottle of digestive tablets.

"The Northwest cattle country has never had a better chronicler in fiction of its deeds and its people than B. M. Bower." -New York Times "The signature of B. M. Bower is a valuable trade mark. It stands for fiction filled with the spirit of ranch life in the northwest." -Boston Herald "Another story of the cattle country by the author of 'The Range Dwellers,' 'Chip of the Flying U,' etc." -Publishers Weekly "The name of B.M. Bower will stand for something readable in the estimation of every man, and most every woman, who reads this fine new story of Montana ranch and its dwellers."-Publisher & Retailer "B.M. Bower has portrayed but few characters, but these he has pictured with the strong and yet delicate stroke of a true master.

It is a story which will delightfully entertain the reader." -Portland Journal "The story contains strength of interest, vivid descriptions, clever and convincing character drawing and literary merits, and the author lays on the colors with a master's touch."—Albany Evening Journal
