"Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord," but after learning of his wife's brutal rape and murder at the hands of members of Quantrill's Raiders, Jacob Perigo, veteran of the American Civil War, decides that perhaps it would be best if he assists the Lord in this mission. "When you do bad things, eventually you get what's coming to you. Vengeance may be God's, but I believe He uses us to do His bidding...maybe we are meant to be the instrument of the Lord and do it for Him."

With hate in his heart, Jacob, along with a half-brother and two cousins, will set off on a quest for vengeance, throughout post-Civil War Missouri and Kansas, seeking their quarry in places where the war has not yet ended.

Their trail will lead to those he seeks, but it will also unexpectedly lead to a second chance at love. She is a woman who shares a similar need for revenge. Will they both find what they are looking for?
