War rages across the Nueces Strip.
As the War Between the States engulfs the nation, Texas Ranger Captain Luke Dunn finds himself on a perilous frontier. With the Nueces Strip stretching from Corpus Christi to Laredo and south to Brownsville, the once-lawless prairies are now war-ravaged battlegrounds. Union cannonballs rain on the coast, Mexican bandits raid unguarded settlements, and rogue soldiers abandon their posts for lives of violence and greed.
Known as "Ghost-Who-Rides" to the Comanche, Dunn's commitment to justice is pushed to its limits. Murderers, swindlers, and hired killers conspire to rid the Strip of his influence, while the chaos of war threatens to undo all he has fought to protect. Even as his love for the spirited Elisa strengthens his resolve, new enemies and old savages rise to challenge him at every turn.
With loyalty scarce and the horrors of war closing in, Luke must decide: can justice endure when the very fabric of Texas is at risk of unraveling?
