Where the River Bends Back: Wyoming Western Tales Book 2

Caught between loyalty to his surviving family and the demands of a world that no longer has a place for him, Tawa Nantu walks a narrowing line. Once a free-ranging Shoshone hunter in the Wind River country, Tawa now finds himself forced into the service of U.S. soldiers-guiding them through lands he knows better than any map ever could. Lands that are changing. Lands that are being claimed, marked, and quietly taken. At first, it is just a job. A way to keep his family alive through another hard season. But as the journey pushes deeper into the mountains and along the winding river valleys of his past, Tawa begins to see the truth behind the mission. This is no patrol. No peacekeeping effort. It is something far more permanent. And far more dangerous. With another force moving in behind them and a trap being set at a place where the river bends back on itself, Tawa is faced with a choice that will define what remains of the man he once was. Lead them forward...or turn against them and risk losing everything. In a land where survival comes at a cost, and the past cannot be outrun, one man must decide whether he belongs to the world that raised him...or the one that is taking its place.
