<DIV><B>This story of a horse trainer and a rich man&rsquo;s wife is &ldquo;a gorgeously written, exacting exploration of duty and retribution set in dusty rural South Dakota&rdquo; (<I>Publishers Weekly</I>).</B><BR /><BR /> When fourteen-year-old Carson Fielding bought his first horse from Magnus Yarborough, it became clear the teenager was a better judge of horses than the rich landowner was of humans. Years later, Carson&mdash;now a skilled and respected horse trainer&mdash;grudgingly agrees to train Magnus&rsquo;s horses and teach his wife to ride.<BR /><BR /> But as Carson becomes disaffected with the power-hungry Magnus, he also grows more and more attracted to the rancher&rsquo;s wife, and their relationship sets off a violent chain of events that unsettles their quiet town in South Dakota. Thrown into the drama are Earl Walks Alone, a Lakota trying to study his way out of the reservation and into college, and Willi, a German exchange student confronting his family&rsquo;s troubled history.<BR /><BR /> Described by Howard Frank Mosher as &ldquo;the best western-based fiction I&rsquo;ve read since <I>Lonesome Dove</I> and <I>Plainsong</I>,&rdquo; this &ldquo;compelling&rdquo; story of love and hatred by the author of <I>Twisted Tree</I> offers &ldquo;fine characterizations, crisp dialogue and fully realized sense of place&rdquo; (<I>The Denver Post</I>).<BR /><BR /> &ldquo;Kent Meyers&rsquo;s new novel is the kind of book that demands and rewards fierce loyalty.&#160;.&#160;.&#160;. I instantly fell under its spell.&rdquo; &mdash;<I>The Christian Science Monitor</I></DIV>
