After the Alamo and the Civil War, the frontier of Texas was a wild place, with only a few good men to keep the peace: the Texas Rangers. Homesteaders, ranchers and the U.S. Army counted on the Rangers to protect the land from marauding Indians and Mexican greaser gangs. Talon Finley wants revenge, but more importantly, justice. Just a kid himself, he turns his skill training horses and a penchant for integrity into a stint as a Texas Ranger. In the vast expanse of the new frontier, from Texas to the Rockies, Talon and his trusted horse, Sam, take on trouble wherever they find it. T. T. Finley, Talon's twin sister, was raised on a ranch in Wyoming. She heads east to attend finishing school, with a gun sewn into her petticoats. A crack shot, she foils a train robbery, uncovers a conspiracy of cattle rustlers, thieves and murderers... and makes the best doughnuts on either side of the Mississippi. Pogonip, the ice-fog condition prevalent in canyons in the old west, foreshadows the chilling reality and danger of a quest to make things right, by a boy who would become a man and a girl who discovers her true purpose.
