PROLOGUE

The Ides of March, 2016

DEEP IN THE BACKCOUNTRY, where no paved roads cross and legends whisper through the tall buffalo grass, lies a lake fed by cold underground springs.

Indigo-colored water, dark and silent, moves over the pond where secrets hide just below the surface and an old curse lingers in silent ripples.

Two ranches border the shores. Two families who haven’t spoken for a hundred years.

A few of the old-timers claim the water is darker on Indigo Lake because of the blood washed away there.

Only tonight, one man stands listening, debating, wondering if breaking tradition will save him or kill him.
