Two men, completely different in character and background, sit down to play poker in the winter of 1844 in the Red Rooster Saloon in St. Louis.

With the turn of a card, their destinies merge in an exciting tale of intrigue, romance, pathos, violence and danger, as emigrants bound for glory or dishonor on the Oregon Trail.

JAMES MORGAN, once a hard-working, reliable farmer in Illinois abandons his wife and farm, takes his son and daughter and travels overland by wagon to St. Louis, where he finds temporary shelter in the Hightower Hotel, and entertainment at the local saloons, awaiting the first wagon train of the spring heading to Oregon. Will he find happiness in the West, or more turmoil and hardship?

WILLIAM BUTLER, professional oxen driver for the Virginia Iron Ore Company of Wythe County, Virginia, haunted by memories of the loss of his wife and son to cholera the previous year, seeks warmth and companionship in a saloon in St. Louis. Will he accept the responsibility of his new family?

CHARLOTTE MORGAN, forced by circumstances to accept marriage to a stranger, is bound by honor and duty to the one, but must say goodbye forever to the familial ties of the past. Can she find harmony and love in the choice she makes?

JOSEPH MORGAN, drawn by loneliness to a stranger, grows to adulthood in a world he doesn’t understand. Surrounded by the beauty of nature and the warmth of family, will he find the answer to his heart’s longing for peace?

GEORGE REMMINGTON, a hired hand, and dependent on his employer for his survival, buries the past and finds new meaning to life along the banks of the Laramie River, among a family who teach him that respect and honor are his for the taking; and that a boy’s love is a priceless gift from God. Does his future depend on his leaving behind the home he has carved from the wilderness with his own hands?

Not the Angels You Thought You Knew.

Heavenly beings, come to Earth dripping with jewels of light to spread peace and cheer across the Earth?

Not exactly, not when the angels are a near-immortal alien race trapped by a broken ship that has been stranded near Earth for thousands of years.

Gadreel, the Deliverer of Destruction, has taken control of the ship by force, hoping to effect repairs at any cost, and he casts Uriel, the Bearer of Destiny, to Earth.

There Uriel is compelled by his Mandate of Destiny and attempts to rescue a woman who has not only become a pawn in the struggle for power, but also exhibits many of the same unusual attributes as the angels who battle over her.

Gabriel, the Citadel of Justice and Power, falls for the ploy that Uriel has broken his Mandate and must be hunted down at all costs. Along with six of the most powerful angels he can find, Gabriel travels to Earth to subdue Uriel and return him to safekeeping and certain imprisonment.

Soon, destruction threatens to spread across the globe. The ensuing conflagration will rain death and destruction on the innocent and guilty alike if Uriel’s supporters cannot find a way to stem the tide of battle.

Uriel’s challenge is closer to home. He must find a way to protect his charge, a woman who will soon be hunted by every angel on Earth.
