Billy the Kid crosses her path, offering help she's too proud to accept, while the truth about what happened to her brother and who's really behind the violence slowly comes to light. Katie's quest for justice in the mountains will force her to reckon with betrayal from an unexpected source and decide what kind of person she really is.
A mysterious creature called Black Bear has been terrorizing the Comanche hunters, striking down warriors and vanishing in explosions of flame—but when Billy the Kid arrives in the mountains, he suspects there's far more to this "demon" than meets the eye. As the tribe's finest warriors are sent to track the beast, Billy races to uncover the truth before Black Bear claims another victim. A Western tale of cunning, deception, and the clash between legend and reality from Billy the Kid Adventure Magazine.
