Synopsis

When Daniel MacLean pins the lone star of a Texas Ranger on his chest, he's looking to avenge the woman he'd planned a life and family with. His pursuit takes him to the border town of Uvalde where he finds a power hungry man hellbent on overrunning the entire territory. As he works to keep the peace along the border, he continues to cross paths with a Mexican woman, Lucia Tarrango, who is trapped in the middle of it all. Will hard riding and straight shooting be enough to settle the score or is he charging headlong into an all out war?

About this title

About the Author

Will Colt writes literary Western fiction where restraint meets reckoning. Across his novels, he restores interior humanity to faces often reduced to silhouette; men shaped by Civil War trauma, carving lives from hostile soil, a Ute leader negotiating impossible diplomacy during the upheaval of clashing cultures.

His work follow veins similar to those of contemporary authors Larry McMurtry, Wallace Stegner, and Cormac McCarthy, prioritizing historical integrity over mythological nostalgia and questioning what survives when everything changes rather than celebrating conquest as triumph. Themes recur organically: moral ambiguity, landscapes functioning as active witnesses, silent action carrying more weight than speech.

Raised on a cattle ranch in the Colorado Rockies, Will grew up reading Louis L'Amour and Zane Grey alongside literary giants from all around the world. He later moved to Jardín, Antioquia, Colombia where he lives with his Colombian wife. These dual geographies inform his interest in belonging and how places shape us even as we reshape them.

The MacLean Brothers series traces five brothers from post-war disintegration toward guardianship responsibility and standing firm with integrity. Standalone novels explore adjacent terrains: immigrant settlement (Where Rivers Run West), Indigenous diplomatic leadership (The Arrow and the Setting Sun). All remain philosophically connected while structurally independent.

He is currently working on the next installment of the MacLean Brothers series and developing young-readers adventures expected this holiday season.
