'Forced into taking a job he didn’t want, Savage rode into a desert swarming with hostile Yavapai Indians. His mission—to find a psychotic, half-breed killer named Rios. Then Fate stepped in and dealt him a whole new hand. Savage was taken captive a small band of rebels, for whom the Civil War has never ended. Although their leader, the legendary General Jo Shelby, now wants to return to Missouri, some under his command would rather see him dead than betray their cause. Just maybe Savage can get Shelby home in one piece. Before that can happen, however, the desert is wrenched apart by the explosive fury of the Yavapais, who are out for bloody revenge, and Savage realizes he’ll need all of his skill if he’s not to let his bones, alongside those of the general, end up bleaching beneath a merciless sun!'
