    Two friends set out on foot at the edge of autumn, trading the noise of the city for quiet roads and golden leaves. With no fixed destination, they walk through the backroads of upstate New York, staying in small inns, visiting country towns, and living on simple pleasures. 
    Along the way, they reflect on poetry, friendship, freedom, and the joy of slowing down. October Vagabonds is part travel memoir, part celebration of nature, and part quiet rebellion against the rush of modern life. 
    This is a story for those who dream of wandering, who long for crisp air and fire-lit nights, and who find meaning in moments that ask nothing in return. 
    Perfect for fans of lyrical prose, slow travel, and stories that value stillness over spectacle.

    Arizona Territory, 1871. Valeria Obregón and her ambitious husband, Raúl, arrive in the raw frontier town of Tucson hoping to find prosperity. Changing Woman, an Apache spirit who represents the natural order of the world and its cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, welcomes Nest Feather, a twelve-year-old Apache girl, into womanhood in Aravaipa Canyon. 
     
     
     
    Mexican and Anglo settlers have pushed the Apaches from their lands, and the Apaches carry out raids against them. In turn, the settlers, angered by the failure of the US government and the military to protect them, respond with a murderous raid on an Apache encampment under the protection of the US military at Camp Grant, kidnapping Nest Feather and other Apache children. 
     
     
     
    In Tucson, while Valeria finds fulfillment in her work as a seamstress, Raúl struggles to hide from her his role in the bloody attack, and Nest Feather, adopted by a Mexican couple there, tries to hold on to her Apache heritage in a culture that rejects her very being. Against the backdrop of the massacre trial, Valeria and Nest Feather's lives intersect in the church, as Valeria seeks spiritual guidance for the decision she must make and Nest Feather prepares for a Christian baptism.

As the High King, he was much respected but as he quickly discovers, his jealous brother rose up against him and Conor and Destry were banished to the nether regions by an evil wizard. It's up to Destry and Conor to save a kingdom that once belonged to them and to understand that their lives are caught up in an ancient cycle of fate they can't control.
