But peace is hard to come by in Oestend. Dante's new home reeks of death, he can't keep his ranch hands in line, and his new cook is taking over his house. As if that's not enough, strange occurrences plague the prairie�dead animals, unnatural weather, and voices riding wind. Dante is determined to persevere, but it soon becomes clear there's more at stake than his ranch. All of Oestend is at risk, unless somebody can set things right.

With the help of his faithful ranch hands, Frances and Simon, and the combined strength of friends, both old and new, Dante will fight for his life, his home, and the heart of the one he loves.
