In post civil war Texas, cattle run wild along the Llano River. The rugged, isolated country hides them well, and it hides outlaws, too. Hub Anderson has ridden west intending to round up a bunch for his land on the Brazos, but he is drawn into the affairs of the Turner family by his war buddy, James Harper. The beautiful Sarah Turner reveals a long-kept secret that changes everything for her father and half-breed son and for the tiny remnant of Comanches who learn of it. Hub finds himself falling in love with Sarah, despite the fact that James expects to marry her. The roundup is put off again and again as he deals with crooked lawmen, an ex-slave from South Carolina, Missouri outlaws and a fighting bull. Plenty of action, wonderful characters, a satisfying story.
