Behind the portrait.

Denny Marsh is nineteen in Coldwater Pass. He is a young hired guard whose decisions bring him into the events surrounding Sterling Bragg and the mountain pass.

Work is not always plentiful or well paid in the territory. Denny’s situation makes the distance between earning a wage and choosing the right company particularly visible.

His part in the story is best discovered as the novel unfolds. The site introduces the young man without revealing where those choices lead.
