Publisher's Synopsis
The friction between the Danmyer family and the Gates had begun over jealousy, betrayal and the death of Zeb Gates. When Jerrod Danmyer decides to court Marian Gates he has more than the hate of her father to overcome. Hit with a plague of locusts and a hard, terrible winter, Marian is promised to another man to help save her family. Meanwhile, the farmers suffer murder, arson and ambush, driving many of them from their homes. Jerrod risks everything to prove himself worthy of Marian's hand and help save the farmers, but, to do so, he must survive both treachery and murder.
