About the book
Renowned bestselling writers William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone are back with the fiery new addition to their ongoing series featuring Preacher, the First Mountain Man, engaging in a classic battle between Good and Evil. Preacher vows to shield two innocent children from a notorious outlaw...
They say good intentions pave the road to hell. For Preacher, this road begins at a distant trading post in the Bitterroot Mountains. Initially, it seems like a pleasant reunion with his old pals Audie and Nighthawk. However, things take a dark turn when a young Native American woman and her grandfather fall victim to a brutal gang of thieves - chaos ensues. After the dust settles, the gang’s leader, known as Mack Ozark, manages to flee, leaving behind a deceased grandfather and a fatally injured woman. Before she breathes her last, she entrusts Preacher with a mysterious bundle. Inside, wrapped snugly in a blanket, are two identical babies with blonde hair and blue eyes. They are clearly twins, but they do not belong to her...
Who do the babies belong to? And what is Preacher, a man of the mountains, supposed to do with them? The only clue lies in the gemstone necklaces adorning the babies. Audie recognizes the stones as star garnets from a nearby valley, prompting them to embark on a journey to find the twins’ mother. Along the way, they realize they are being trailed by Mack Ozark. He is aware that the babies’ father stole a valuable stash of jewels and that the blanket covering them conceals a map to the hidden treasures. However, he underestimates the lengths a man like Preacher will go to safeguard those innocent souls and lead a sinner like Ozark down the path to damnation...
