Toward Dusk

The Civil War is a memory that haunts the shadowy recesses of Vitus Swinggate's mind.

Vitus distracts himself from his dark past while working to keep his makeshift family's farm afloat in Birdsong Hollow. But when a series of brutal and unprovoked attacks reawakens his vicious side, Vitus is forced to seek vengeance.

With blood on his hands, Vitus once again find himself on the run as an outlaw.

But this time, he has a family to think about. Forced to sell the farm, they head west to escape the authorities. Ghosts of the past nip at their heels as they follow the route of the Trail of Tears.

Along the way, they encounter thieving bandits, thwart Comanche attacks, endure kidnappings, and suffer the loss of loved ones-including someone very dear to Vitus.

Vitus is thrown into a new life of unspeakable violence and soul-wrenching survival in the heart of Comanche country. To what ends will he go to protect his family and his loved ones? Will he ever find peace in this lifetime?
