The gavel slammed, a thunderclap in the stifling courtroom, sealing Dave Allard's fate. Major James Brionne, his face a mask of grim duty, had delivered justice. Or so he thought. As the noose tightened, Dave's voice, a raw, venomous rasp, echoed through the hall: "My brothers will avenge me! You'll pay, Brionne!"

Four years. Four years of uneasy peace shattered by the thunder of hooves and the crackle of gunfire. The Allard boys, a pack of wolves driven by bloodlust, had returned, their eyes burning with the fire of vengeance. They painted the frontier with terror, leaving a trail of destruction that led straight to Brionne's door. His home, a sanctuary built with sweat and hope, was reduced to a blackened skeleton. His wife, the light of his life, extinguished by their savage hands. Only his son, a terrified shadow, escaped their wrath.

Brionne, stripped bare, left with nothing but the smoldering ruins of his past, knew he couldn't stay. He packed what little remained and, with his son clinging to him like a lifeline, headed west, seeking a sanctuary beyond the reach of the Allard's deadly grasp. He craved peace, a chance to rebuild, to forge a new life in the untamed wilderness. But the specter of the Allards haunted his every step. He knew, deep in his bones, that they wouldn't let him go. They'd hunt him down, call him out, force him to face the reckoning they craved. And this time, James Brionne wouldn't run. He'd stand his ground, a lone warrior against a pack of wolves, ready to unleash the fury that burned within him. The showdown was coming, a clash of wills in the heart of the wild frontier, and Brionne, forged in the fires of loss, would be ready.
