Where the Snow Claims Ground
Book Seven Elias Mercer is riding toward Carson in the back of a locked wagon when the escort stops at an old line shack to rest its horses, and Netsuwa Blackwater has already decided that is as far as he goes. What happens at that rest stop puts her fully outside the law for the first time in her life, a Washoe woman named in writing now, wanted, with nothing left to lose that the syndicate hasn't already threatened to take. The spring floodwater that nearly drowned the low trail gives way to the driest summer the eastern slope has seen in years, and every creek they cross on the run becomes a decision that could get them caught or get them killed. Old ground reopens old wounds: a burned-over drainage, a burial site long since gone quiet, and a man neither of them expected to see again, carrying a piece of paper that could undo the syndicate's entire claim, if it survives the men still hunting them long enough to reach anyone with the authority to read it. Whitfield Coe is no longer working through lawyers and hired men alone. What he's willing to do to keep that paper from reaching Sacramento is the measure of exactly how far this fight has come from a mountain slope and a snow-cave, and exactly how much further Elias and Netsuwa are willing to go for each other, and for a ground he was never supposed to love as much as she does. What does it cost two people to choose each other in the open, when the law, the syndicate, and the very land under their feet are all running out of patience at the same time?
