Val Darrant was four years old. It was a cold, snowy night as he was hustled away on a buckboards to be abandoned. But he did not die; he met Will Reilly. A gentleman, a gambler, and the best rifle shot in the West. Reilly was a man who knew the odds and played them. But what were the odds on taking in a frightened young boy?
Val Darrant was just four years old the snowy night his mother abandoned him. But instead of meeting a lonely death, he met Will Reilly”a gentleman, a gambler, and a worldly, self-taught scholar. For ten years they each were all the family the other had, traveling from dusty American boomtowns to the cities of Europe”until the day Reilly`s luck ran out in a roar of gunfire.
But it wasn`t a gambling brawl or a pack of thieves that sealed Will`s fate. It was a far more complex story that Val would soon uncover, one that touched upon Val`s nearly forgotten childhood, the woman who was Will Reilly`s lost love, and the violent future of a growing country.
