Summary
In 1869, former U.S. soldier Ace Horrigan reaches Santa Lucia carrying the consequences of a poisoned spring, a dead sergeant, and an Army order that may save him from the gallows without absolving him of what he has done. A siege, an improvised sheet-iron breastplate, and an injured sheriff draw him into the life of the town — and toward Ellie Buchanan, whose eye for ledgers, water, witnesses, and bad arithmetic proves as necessary as his rifle. As Santa Lucia builds a post, reopens roads, and survives corruption, drought, and gun-running, Ace must learn that protecting a place is not the same thing as owning it.
