Summary

The boss was a hard man, and he was not at great pains to conceal his hardness. He had waited for a week to fill out his judgment upon the new hand, and now his mind was full.
After supper, he went into the bunk house and stood in the door.
“Fuller!” he called.
Tom Fuller leaned his head out of his bunk—he had turned in early—and lowered the magazine which he had been reading, while the vision of Indians, galloping riders, and rescued heroines slowly faded from his mind and was replaced by the solid image of Pete Stringham in the doorway.
“Here!” said Fuller.
The boss took a few long strides into the room.
“Fuller, you’re a cowpuncher?”
“I’m a cowboy, I guess,” said Fuller.
“Who made you a cowpuncher?” asked the boss.
There was silence.
“It’s a sure thing that nature didn’t intend you that way,” said the boss. “Answer me one thing. Can you handle a rope?”

    Their home used to hold laughter, shared glances, the quiet ease of knowing. Then the unthinkable happened—and everything stopped. 
He clings to the fragments of before, convinced they can find their way back. She drifts further each day, speaking less, feeling more elsewhere than present. They move through the same rooms, but live in different worlds. 
Haunted by absence, he sets out to reach her—but grief isn’t something you fix. It’s something you survive, or don’t. 
This isn’t a story of recovery. It’s about the spaces love can’t always fill, and the silent choices we make when the person we need most becomes a stranger.

    In the beginning, the Goddess danced the world into existence. Peace reigned for generations through matriarchal rule within the Minca, Dute, and Carroo tribes. But one man's lust for power destroyed this balance. Vestor assassinated his sister, Mother of the Minca tribe, and his army ravaged the Dute and Carroo tribes, thrusting a once idyllic world into war, famine, and despair. 
Yet, today there is hope. Vestor's niece, Cora, has a vision: if she can convince an emissary from each tribe to rendezvous at the Heart Stone, she can overthrow her evil uncle, take her rightful place as Mother Minca, and restore harmony. 
But the Dutes have disappeared deep into their mountains. There are rumors the Carroo are extinct. And, Cora must move swiftly -- lest Vestor learn that she's pregnant with the Minca heir.
