Book One of the Cañada del Hueso Saga The canyon remembers what men forget.
Because in Cañada del Hueso, water is worth more than blood.
New Mexico Territory, 1862. Mateo RÃos returns to Cañada del Hueso, Bone Canyon, to bury his father. He finds the RÃos ranch already dying of thirst. The springs are failing. So are the wells. Grass has turned brittle beneath the hooves of Silas Baird's expanding sheep herds. And strangers have begun moving quietly through the territory. Mateo knows the land well enough to recognize when something is wrong. Dry seams. Broken patterns. Silence where there should be life. Then he finds the mark burned onto canyon stone.
Because in Cañada del Hueso, water is worth more than blood.
New Mexico Territory, 1862. Mateo RÃos returns to Cañada del Hueso, Bone Canyon, to bury his father. He finds the RÃos ranch already dying of thirst. The springs are failing. So are the wells. Grass has turned brittle beneath the hooves of Silas Baird's expanding sheep herds. And strangers have begun moving quietly through the territory. Mateo knows the land well enough to recognize when something is wrong. Dry seams. Broken patterns. Silence where there should be life. Then he finds the mark burned onto canyon stone.
Someone is mapping the water. As the search spreads, every spring matters and every man's claim carries consequences. What begins as a fight over failing water reaches beyond the RÃos ranch, and the farther Mateo follows the signs, the more questions he finds about the life his father led while he was gone. Eliza Calder has worked to keep her schoolhouse neutral ground for families divided by war. But armed men are asking questions, the information she keeps is becoming dangerous, and neutrality is getting harder to hold. Nita Greyhawk knows the country well enough to recognize what others might miss. What she finds tells them the trouble reaches farther than Bone Canyon. With violence closing in, Mateo must decide who he can trust, how much of his father's knowledge he is willing to uncover, and how far he will go to keep the canyon's water from becoming another man's weapon. And once blood reaches the water, the canyon remembers. Blood in Bone Canyon begins the complete six-book Cañada del Hueso Saga, a historical Western of survival, hidden water, shifting loyalties, and the struggle over who controls the resources that keep people alive.
