Wounded Outlaw Books Presents: LAWMAN'S DESTINY. Joseph Hawk Blood's epic journey begins when a tattered band linked to Quantrill's Raiders converge on his Kansas home and murder his father, Little Wolf, and take his Irish mother captive. After his mother's death and determined to find his own way in life, Hawk sets out on his own at the age of 14. After ten years living in the mountains with Wise Eagle, Hawk has established ties in Blue Spring, Colorado Territory, where he sells pelts every summer. After saving the life of sheriff Griffin, Hawk reluctantly becomes his deputy and soon finds himself at odds with townspeople who don't like half-breeds. Hawk's sense of responsibility and determination to forge a new life grows as he tangles with corrupt businessmen, gunslingers and unsavory drifters, all of whom would love to make a name for themselves by putting Hawk in his grave. In a series of unexpected and violent encounters, Hawk is forced to face a past he thought he'd left behind on the bloody Kansas plains, only to discover the peaceful future he'd dreamed of won't happen unless he confronts a determined group of merciless killers.
