Several winters have passed since Taimah avenged her father's death by killing a ranger captain and a Mexican commander. Now bounty hunters, drunk on the scent of blood money, have risen like vultures from Tejas and Mexico to hunt her -- and without a village, Taimah has only her hawks and wolves to protect her in the barren deserts of eastern Tejas. But among those in pursuit of her is the mysterious green-eyed lawman Ramon Connelly. He says he is her cousin by blood, yet he is also sworn to uphold the law. Her fate -- and his -- may depend on how much they are able to trust one another.
