Where the Lion Waited

High above the canyon trail, something is watching. When a sudden encounter on the rimrock nearly costs him his life, Thatcher Roane learns the mountain is not the only thing hunting in these hills. A wounded lion stalks the high passes - silent, patient, and deadly - and it is not the only predator in the territory. Stranded in harsh country where one wrong step means a long fall, Roane must fight for survival against claw, hunger, and the unforgiving land itself.
But the deeper danger lies in the choices he carries with him - old debts, broken trust, and the hard truth that a man cannot outrun what waits in his own heart. In the high country, instinct keeps you alive. Character decides whether you deserve to be. From Josiah Boone comes a rugged frontier tale of survival, reckoning, and the thin line between hunter and hunted.
