Silver King is free again, until a single rifle shot changes everything.
After a hard winter sheltering at Slim Davis's ranch, the great white stallion has led his herd back to the high country of the Rockies. But Jake Slade has not forgotten the horse who threw him, bit him, and made him the laughingstock of the county. When Slade ambushes Silver King on a lonely mountain road, he finally gets what he has always wanted: the wild stallion dazed, roped, and locked inside a corral.
What Slade cannot own is Silver King's spirit. No cowboy in the West can stay on his back for eight seconds. So Slade turns him into a traveling show, hauling him by rail from town to town with a thousand-dollar prize riding on every ride, and sending one bronc buster after another flying into the dirt.
Then Slim Davis walks into the depot at Twin Pines and signs a wager that stuns the whole county: the deed to his family's ranch against eight seconds in the saddle.
Everything the Davis family owns now rests on something no one else can see, the trust between one quiet rancher and the horse who has never let a man near his back.
A Western adventure of loyalty, courage, and quiet faith, illustrated throughout in pencil. Book two of the Silver King series.
