End of the Trail is part of a six-book series about four
generations of the Morgan family living, fighting, and
thriving amidst a turbulent Texas history spanning from 1845
to 1896.
Brooks Morgan left home 11 years earlier and is just too
stubborn to return home. In 1896 he pulls into the town of
Shoofly to take refuge from a storm and befriends John
Langston in the local cafe. A high stakes poker game ends
with Brooks holding the deed to John's ranch with one
condition - Brooks must promise to take care of Keri. Brooks
agrees, assuming that Keri is a horse.
Overcome by guilt, Brooks return to the cafe to give back
the deed but finds John on the floor dead. Brooks heads off
to take care of John's ranch and is ambushed. With a noose
around his neck, hands tied behind his back he offers a
prayer up to God. A stunning shot is delivered from the
rifle of a lady on horseback that breaks the noose and frees
Brooks. But could this lady - Keri - be an enemy, too?
