From the author of the YA western series, Two Thousand Grueling Miles, and Callihan, comes West of the War. Vengeance rides the river, but can the wilds of Montana heal a broken soul? Young Bradon McTavish's world shatters when bluecoats hang his father and leave his home in ruins. Fleeing into the chaos of war, Bradon's defiance leads to capture-and an ultimatum. Paroled only if he ventures west of the conflict, he follows the river into Montana Territory, a land as untamed as his grief and anger. Amid savage landscapes and deadly threats, Bradon discovers allies who share his thirst for survival, confronts enemies who won't let the past die, and finds forbidden love in the arms of a woman he never dreamed would be his. From the acclaimed author of the Callihan series, West of the War delivers relentless action, gripping adventure, and a hero's journey of resilience and redemption.
