After years of caring for his ailing mother, Tristan Bailey sets out for the High Plains of Texas to claim what’s rightfully his: a parcel of rugged land near Sweetwater Creek.
But dreams die hard on the frontier. The land Tristan's father once staked now bears the brand of the Lazy S, run by Roy Sullivan: an ex-Confederate soldier with a fast draw and a dark past.
Tristan may be young and outgunned, but he’s not green. With the loyalty of a small ranch crew, he's determined to hold his ground. When the dust settles after the final showdown, who will be the last man standing?
A gritty tale of land and legacy, THE HOMESTEADER is the 12th book in the Bailey Clan Westerns series by Terence Newnes.
