"I made my promise and I'll keep it." Rafe Caradec—gambler, soldier of fortune, wanderer from far-off places—had made a promise to a dying man. To save his ranch in Wyoming for his wife and daugther. All Rafe knew was that a lot of mighty powerful men were out to get that ranch. Rafe couldn't understand why until he discovered the secret hidden deep in the land—the secret Rodney's enemies had found long before. Right now Rodney's daugther believed Rafe was a crook, and she was playing into the hands of the men who were plotting to destroy her. But Rafe figured a way to save the land—and the girl. It was dangerous but it was the only way he knew.
