The river carries more than men and freight; it carries the weight of what they leave behind. As Eli and Caleb steam north from Vicksburg, quiet waters hide watchful eyes, new allies test their measure, and the next road begins to take shape beyond the mist.

The city’s glow disappears behind them, yet shadows have a habit of keeping pace.

It's decision time for Eli and Caleb. Raise or fold, but the stakes are their lives, and bluffing is out of the question.

In the high country of the frontier, Elias Walker lives by his own code. Alone, hardened by war, and carrying the tools of survival that mark him as a hunter and fighter, he is haunted by scars both visible and hidden. But when his path collides with a ruthless outlaw band and the shifting power of the Lakota, Elias is forced to choose between isolation and the bonds of trust. Across bison plains, winter lodges, and blood-soaked trails, he must reckon with betrayal, honor, and a love he never expected. Among Wolves is a tale of survival, justice, and the hard-won strength of kinship on a land where every choice has a price.
