Book One
The Gold of the Rising Sun
California Sierra, 1880. A boy left to die in the snow is taken in by a white she-wolf and raised wild, and grows into a marksman bound by a single oath: to shoot the gun from a man’s hand, but never the man.
When a Cherokee woman called Rising Sun rides home one dawn to find her village burned and her sisters stolen, Caleb Wolf goes with her — up into the high country after the bandit chief Salazar, a buried mountain of gold, and a debt that cannot be paid in money.

The River of the Taken
The delta, 1880. A year after raiders burned her people and carried her sisters down the river, a lawyer’s letter tells Rising Sun what she had stopped letting herself hope: some of them are still alive.
She and Caleb go down into the drowned country to pull them back one at a time — while the respectable man who built his fortune on that trade sends the one hunter money can buy who has never yet failed.

Book Three
The Law of the Wolf
The high Sierra, 1881. Caleb Wolf has finally found the thing he never had — a wife, a valley, a people, a home. Then a hunted boy turns up half-dead in the snow, condemned to hang on the word of a single witness.
Caleb does the only thing he has ever known how to do: he takes him in. To save the boy from the rope he will bury his own name, cross five hundred miles of flood and fever, and go looking for a truth buried twenty years deep — while a patient, smiling bounty hunter who has never once been wrong comes for the one thing Caleb cannot lose.
