Guns, hatchets, swords, and fists all come into play in this fast-paced, thrilling, emotionally gripping adventure of family, friendship, heartache, and romance. What price is Deacon willing to pay to preserve his new life? Will he squeeze the trigger on one friend to save another? But then, who will save him?

When their father disappears and their mother dies, child siblings Rose and David Wells face the cruel streets of 1844 Buffalo, New York. Daring to dream beyond their wretched circumstance, they escape a brutal slave master, change their names to Deacon and Marie Hickman, and begin a new life on the shores of Lake Erie in the care and nurture of Ken and Lorna Hunsaker.

On death’s door, broken, bleeding and wracked with pneumonia, Deacon believes his race to save loved ones is thwarted, but by the healing hands of a legless stranger, he is miraculously delivered. What will he do with a second chance at life? . . . at friendship? . . . at love? Accompanied by Tim Finlinson and Dillan McCall, Deacon resumes his race to save his family, but when he finds a collapsed chimney and charred rubble where the Lambert home once stood, grief consumes him. Soon after, one of the grave markers left by Ben Halladay provides consolation and new hope — Cole is alive!
