Ride with Enmity

The war has been over for 13 years, but Texan August Miller, Marshal for Judge Parker and former Confederate cavalryman, never accepted the South's surrender. His enmity for all things Yankee fuels his anger as he chafes at the northern victors lording it over the defeated south and carpetbaggers growing rich on the spoils. Pushed to the brink of his paper-thin Yankee tolerance he strikes back and becomes a wanted outlaw on the run. Envisioning himself a Confederate patriot, August delivers a blow against his hated oppressors; an act which leads him down a road where he is both hero and villain until he realizes that his life is spiraling out of control, that he has lost more than he ever gained, and all that lies at the end of the road is a rope.
