They just wanted to get home for Christmas—but fate had other plans . . .
It's December 1890. A Texas rancher named Big Jim Conyers has a deal with Scottish-born Wyoming cattleman Duff MacCallister. Along with Smoke and Matt Jensen, the party bears down on Dodge, Kansas, to make a cattle drive back to Fort Worth. But before they can get out of Dodge, guns go off and a rich man's son is killed.
Soon the drive turns into a deadly pursuit, then a staggering series of clashes with bloodthirsty Indians and trigger-happy rustlers. And the worst is yet to come—the party rides into a devastating blizzard, a storm so fierce that their very survival is at stake.
From America's greatest Western author, here is an epic tale of the unforgiving American frontier and how, amidst fierce storms of man and nature, miracles can still happen.

Starred review from October 1, 2011
Series fan favorites Smoke and Matt Jensen finally join forces with Falcon and Duff MacCallister in this enjoyable Western. After Tom Whitman, an Eastern gentleman, saves rancher's daughter Rebecca Conyers from a couple of ne'er-do-wells on a train, she offers him his first job as a cowboy. Tom's a hard worker and soon chosen to help Duff and the Jensens bring a herd of valuable Angus cows to Conyers's Texas ranch. A well-paced saga with cattle rustling, bar fights, painful secrets, unrequited love, and a baby born on Christmas day.
