A stolen child. A scalped survivor. A trail of blood across the Devil's Anvil.

Eldridge Sample has hunted bandits, rustlers, and corrupt officers, but the Caprock Canyons hide a different kind of evil. Tracking a ruthless Comanche war party deep into the unforgiving badlands of the Llano Estacado, Sample finds a single pearl button pressed into the mud-a desperate sign from a captured girl.

But Sample isn't the only one hunting Chato, the war chief who leaves slaughter in his wake.

Amidst the ruins of a massacred Tonkawa camp, Sample finds Kano-a warrior scalped, blinded in one eye, and left for dead. Fueled by a hate that defies death itself, Kano rises from the grave with a single purpose: to peel the skin from the man who took his family.

Forging an uneasy alliance, the former lawman and the mutilated survivor embark on a brutal campaign of attrition. They don't just track the enemy; they dismantle them. From a sniper duel on a canyon rim to a blinding dust storm skirmish, they whittle the war party down, turning the hunters into the hunted.

As Chato retreats to the impregnable mesa known as the Devil's Anvil, Sample must decide how far he is willing to go to save the innocent. To defeat a devil, he has allied himself with a monster-and in the time of wrath, there is no shelter from the fire.

"We aren't partners," Sample said. "We just share a hate."

Visceral, elemental, and terrifyingly real, Time of Wrath is a survival Western that reads like The Revenant meets The Searchers. It is a story of endurance, savage vengeance, and the thin line between justice and slaughter
