Dal and Mac Traven fought on opposite sides of the Civil War but rode home together to rebuild the family ranch where guerrilla raiders had kidnapped the Travens' sister and Dal's girlfriend, Kate Connery. Now the Travens are on their trail--until the women are free or Dal and Mac are dead!
Dal and Mac Traven left Texas young and idealistic. They came back from opposite sides of a living hell, a war that had torn the nation in two. They wanted only to reclaim their old lives...but one man held their future hostage.

Colonel Henry T. Ashford had gathered an army of criminals and renegade soldiers, leading them on a path of destruction and kidnapping through Texas to the Gulf. Among Ashford's captives were the Travens' sister and Dal's tough-minded fianc e, Kate.

Now Mac and Dal must take up arms once again and ride together against Ashford's army--ready to fight another war, if that's what it takes to win the freedom of the women they love.
