The war betweeen the white man and the Cheyenne was over then the killing began ...

Exiled from his Northern tribe, sent to the Southern Cheyenne as they were leaving their ancestral ways behind, Panther Burn saw his people becoming slaves, and knew he had found a war... Scarred by an Indian ambush, Jubal Bragg led a vicious frontier militia, and knew, when he saw the wild, bare-chested Panther Burn ride into Castle Rock, that killing was at hand.

A lie, an act of violence, and then a senseless slaughter turn Panther Burn into a renegade and Bragg into a murderer. Now, between two men and two cultures, the last epic struggle of the frontier has begun. And when it is over, a generation later, a story of courage, passion, love and tragedy will haunt the Western wind forever.

Sacred is the Wind

...is Kerry Newcomb's masterful saga based on real events from 1865 to 1895-the story of lives lived and lost at a bloody turning point in the history of a land.

From the Inside Flap:

Praise for Kerry Newcomb's Texas Anthem series:
"Adrenaline-pumping!"--Booklist

Praise for The Red Ripper:
"[A] rangy, fast-moving historical novel [with an] action-filled plot...broad-brush sagebrush scenes and the romance of the Texas Republic."--Publishers Weekly

"Readers are rewarded with an entertaining tale of high adventure and low villains."--Booklist

"A sizzler...Kerry Newcomb brings to life Big Foot Wallace, a larger-than-life frontiersman who strode boldly into legend. One helluva good book by a storyteller working at top form."
--Matt Braun, Golden Spur Award-winning author of The Kincaids

"Bounds along with unrelenting vigor. This is historical fiction crafted by a writer who never loses his sense of pace, drama, adventure, and fun.--Cameron Judd, Golden Spur Award-nominated author of Texas Freedom

"A compelling mix of passion, revenge, and a gallant people's quest for freedom. With the historical accuracy of a L'Amour novel, the characters are well drawn, leaving the reader to feel the openness and harsh challenges of the Texas frontier...Don't expect to get any sleep when you start this one."--John J. Gobbell, Bestselling author of The Last Lieutenant

Praise for Mad Morgan:
"Colorful, old-fashioned adventure...Awash with treachery and romance, this well-spun yarn fairly crackles with danger and suspense. Vigorous historical fiction."--Booklist

"Swashbuckling adventure!"--Indianapolis Star

Review:

"In the tradition of Louis L'Amour and John Jakes, Newcomb blends fast-paced action,
pulse-raising romance and historically accurate settings."
--Dallas Morning News
