From the acclaimed author of The Hell Bent The story of a brave woman fighting to protect her land in the midst of a deadly range war Amelia Rankin owns nearly two hundred thousand acres of Texas rangeland. When her husband died, she inherited the vast holdings - and with them, a world of trouble. When Amelia decides to fence off a portion of her land allow farmers to tend it, she raises the ire of a powerful cattleman who would rather shed blood than see west Texas taken over by homesteaders. The men who work for Amelia vow to stand by her, but when tensions run this high, one spark of violence could set the whole prairie ablaze. Before she knows it, Amelia and her allies are fighting a battle whose outcome will determine the future of the Southwest. From master storyteller Charles O. Locke, Amelia Rankin is an unforgettable tale of passion, violence, and pride.
