Breck Wallace was turning into a true mountain man on the American frontier. As a teenager in Tennessee, he killed in self-defense. With a gun and trap lines he is learning how to survive in the Rockies. But as dangerous as life is, nothing is worse than a powerful man with a murderous grudge. Breckenridge has left two such men in his past, and they both send cold-blooded killers for hire after him. Now Breck must fight a whole new kind of enemy, armed with his courage, strength, and raw skills.
