Description

Set in the harsh desert West, the novel follows John Hare, a fugitive near death who is rescued by August Naab, a stern yet compassionate Mormon leader. As outlaws close in, moral duty clashes with survival. Hare finds refuge among Naab’s family and forms a quiet bond with Mescal, a Navajo-raised woman. Love, faith, and violence shape a fight for belonging.

Author

Zane Grey (1872–1939) was the great popular mythmaker of the American frontier — one of the first authors to turn adventure fiction into a national industry. Obsessed with the real West, he travelled widely through Arizona and Utah and brought back stories of outlaws, ranchers, gunmen, and the women and landscapes that shaped their fate.
