Father King
Cross-Continental Western / African Adventure
“Some debts can't be paid in gold. They can only be paid in blood, grit, and the willingness to go where no sane man would follow.”
From the Texas frontier to the heart of Africa — a blood debt, sacred duty, and a hunt through the world's most dangerous wilderness.
Father King is a warrior of the cloth — a tender shepherd of his flock, and the man who was a second father to a homeless young orphan named Shannon Dumas. Now he is being hunted.
A blood debt is sacred. From the New World to the Old, from the Texas frontier through Europe and into the Dark Continent itself, Shannon knew the score going in — no rewards, no accolades, near certain death. No one would fault him for staying out of it. These are exactly the kinds of obligations good men honor.

- You want the cry of the Fish Eagle, the shadow of the lion, and the tension of a mamba's hiss alongside your adventure.
