A new settler and opportunist, Ben Mitchel, wants everything; including beautiful Sarah Markee. One man stands in his way - Isaiah Cale, but his past sets him against the law . . . and the law is Ben's. Ben also has a killer to take care of what the law can't - Deke Sleighton. Deke is a lawless murderer who takes what he wants and recognizes no law but his gun. He wants more than Mitchel can imagine. Isaiah is the only man who can stand up to Sleighton and when Sarah declares her love for Isaiah the conflict is as fixed as the mountains on the Markee Ranch.
Isaiah’s
Land is the second book in the Saga of the Markees. The Government
has changed the law and no longer recognizes Native tribes as sovereign
nations. Instead, they are considered primitive wards of the United
States. All tribes are to be located to reservations; including the
peaceful Shoshone who live on their ancestral lands, which are part
of the vast Markee Ranch. The Markees are part Shoshone and recognize
the right of their tribe to stay on the land and defy the cavalry’s
efforts to remove the tribe.
The cavalry is led by Colonel Buck Williams, an ambitious and vindictive
man. He has partnered with the killer Deke Sleighton. Sleighton and Williams
both have reasons for wanting Isaiah dead. Together, they unleash violence
and warfare in an attempt to destroy a peaceful people and their way
of life.
The Markees, Rusty, Sarah, Jenny and Isaiah Cale find themselves once again pitted against Deke Sleighton, Colonel “Buck” Williams and their gang of murderers and renegades. Colonel Williams has a new “militia” and is driven by old scores he wants to settle with Isaiah. Williams’ militia invades the lands of the Markee Ranch intent on destroying the remaining Shoshone and the Markees.
Williams hedges his bet by plotting with Deke to make it look as if the Shoshone have murdered Reverend Phillips. Phillips finds himself a captive of the Shoshone and challenged by the Shaman. That is where the Shaman’s Law is pitted in the final conflict with the militia and Deke’s gang of thugs.
