From the Publisher Tap Duvarney fought in the War Between the States, then signed on as an Indian fighter with the frontier army. With Kittery and the Munsons out to spill each other's blood, and Kittery's woman stirring up trouble between the two uneasy partners, Duvarney knows he's headed for a savage showdown. Now he's settled in Texas, working a ranch as the partner of his old friend Tom Kittery -- and in the middle of a blood feud between Kittery and the vicious Munson clan

But the danger from outside Kittery’s camp is nothing compared to the threat within, as Duvarney begins to suspect that Kittery’s woman isn’t everything she appears to be. Around Matagorda Island, most people are either backing the Munsons or remaining silent. Now Tap is discovering that he must go to war again. Tap Duvarney lost his innocence in the War Between the States and then put his skills to the test as a soldier in the frontier army. But will it be with the Munsons–or with his closest friend?
