About the book
Introducing a bold new saga from the bestselling Johnstones. This is the epic story of new arrivals in the Old West - a proud family of dreamers in the untamed wilds of Texas Hill Country...
They arrived in America with the intention of starting afresh. The Braxton siblings, three brothers and their sister, had lost everything in Europe and decided to set sail for the Texas coast in search of new opportunities. Despite knowing that life on the frontier would not be easy, their challenges began even before they reached Texas. A tragic incident occurred on the ship, leading to a deadly feud with the MacLochlainn clan who blamed the Braxtons for the death.
As a fugitive on the run, Perry Braxton, wrongly accused of the crime, assumes a new identity and joins the Texas Rangers, waiting for his past to catch up with him. Meanwhile, Athelston struggles to establish a ranch in Comanche territory, Jeremy gets involved in gambling and outlaw activities, and Bodie falls in love with a rugged frontiersman who teaches her essential survival skills such as riding, hunting, and shooting.
Each sibling follows their own path, but when trouble arises and a vengeful rival threatens their family, the Braxtons come together, united by the strong bond of blood. They understand that in the face of adversity, family stands by each other, as blood is indeed thicker than bullets.
