After provisioning in town, Shy and Lamb come back to find their farm burned to the ground, their old friend Gully hanged and the two children Ro and Pit gone. Shy South and her stepfather Lamb live in a farmstead south of the little town Squaredeal in the Near Country, a lawless and largely unsettled land west of Starikland. Even worse it will force them into alliance with Nicomo Cosca, infamous soldier of fortune, and his feckless lawyer, Temple, two men no one should ever have to trust. Their journey will take them across the barren plains to a frontier town gripped by gold fever, through feud, duel and massacre, high into the unmapped mountains to a reckoning with the Ghosts. And out in the lawless Far Country, the past never stays buried. But it turns out Lamb’s buried a bloody past of his own. She sets off in pursuit with only a pair of oxen and her cowardly old step father Lamb for company. Shy South hoped to bury her bloody past and ride away smiling, but she’ll have to sharpen up some bad old ways to get her family back, and she’s not a woman to flinch from what needs doing.
