In the clouds of the Gila Wilderness, a golden empire is crumbling.
Perched on the edge of a precipice, Mogollon should be the wealthiest town in the New Mexico Territory. The mountains are bleeding gold and silver, but the town is dying of a thousand cuts. Constant mountain flooding turns the main street into a river of mud, and the isolated location makes it a prime target for the desperate and the lawless. The miners are striking, the timber is running thin, and the Apache raids are tightening a noose around the canyon.
Barrett Evanwood has saved the coast and the plains-now he must conquer the mountains.
Barrett arrives at the peak of winter to find a community on the brink of civil war. The mine owners want to dig deeper, while the families want to flee before the next snow traps them with no supplies. Barrett's mission is his most dangerous yet: he isn't just rebuilding a town; he's designing a fortress.
Using revolutionary mountain-engineering techniques, Barrett sets out to build a series of stone diversions to tame the Silver Creek and a signaling system to protect the perimeter. But as he carves a new future into the rock, he uncovers a vein of corruption that goes deeper than the mines. To save Mogollon, Barrett will have to prove that a town's true strength isn't in the gold it produces, but in the walls it builds together.
The trilogy reaches its peak as Barrett Evanwood faces his final test: building a sanctuary where everyone else sees a grave.
