Language: English
Content Rating: All Ages
Ephraim “Rattlesnake” Holt is a stark, unflinching portrait of vengeance on the Oregon Trail, where justice wears war paint and Mercy is the name of a Hawken rifle.
In 1839, before the great migration west, a predator moves among the wagon trains. Rattlesnake Holt, guide and legend, hides his brutal appetites behind wolf-skin charm. But he has drawn the wrong shadow.
She is called Mankiller Woman. A Cheyenne Dog Soldier hunted the white men who destroyed her family. Afterward, she continues to search out evil white men to punish, her vengeance isn’t complete and might never be. When she discovers Holt's cache of trophies, including a child's locket taken from a girl he drowned. She sees something in him, familiar. The predator's grace, the animal’s certainty—it is too recognizable. It is her own self, reflected and corrupted. With that, she begins a methodical hunt that ends not with gunfire, but with rope and reckoning.
