Black Fury #29

When a ruthless rancher's bullets bring down Black Fury, the wild stallion finds unexpected salvation in young Johnny Price and his father Ben—a man trying to escape a violent past. As the rancher's grip tightens on Furnace Creek Valley and Ben refuses to resort to gunplay, it falls to the ebony stallion to face the man who shot him in a confrontation that will test everything Ben has promised to leave behind.

Black Fury must elude an Apache leader determined to claim him, but escape brings the magnificent stallion into the path of an Eastern horse breeder and a maverick hunter named Wes Clintock—hired to capture the wild stud to strengthen a failing bloodline. When danger and duty collide on the frontier, Wes and the breeder's daughter discover an unexpected kinship, forcing them to reckon with what truly matters.

Fleeing the law and desperate for cash, Thorpe Milner targets two immigrant laborers, Timothy X. O'Brien and Rocco Santini, who've just been paid by a railway—only to discover these men, though new to the West and afraid of guns, possess a grit and resourcefulness he didn't anticipate. When Milner's threats turn violent, O'Brien and Santini fight back with whatever they have at hand, turning the tables on their would-be robber in a tense confrontation that tests whether desperation or determination will win the day.

Black Fury faces his toughest challenge yet when he discovers a timber wolf pup abandoned in the wilderness and makes the rare choice to raise the orphan alongside his herd—a bond tested years later when the now-grown wolf, Whiteface, becomes leader of a starving pack that threatens everything Black Fury has sworn to protect. This tale explores an unlikely friendship forged in the harshest peaks of the Rockies, and the impossible reckoning that comes when nature's ancient rivalries collide with loyalty.
