Official synopsis Publisher
It is 1883, and Ted Reynolds feels older than his thirteen years. His mother died two years ago, and now Ted has been shipped out west to live on a cattle ranch with his father, a stern man he barely knows. The only time Ted feels at home in his new surroundings is when he is riding his horse, Gypsy. Ted’s life changes, however, on the day he catches a glimpse of a powerful mountain lion while out on a ride.
He tells his Indian friend, Buffalo Horn, about his discovery and learns about cougar folklore and that there is also a female mountain lion that roams the land. But when he returns home to share the exciting news with his father, Ted is horrified to hear that his father intends to kill the lions. Desperate to find a way to save the cats he has put in harm’s way, Ted heads out on a secret expedition with Buffalo Horn, who helps him communicate a warning to the cougars. Now only time will tell if it will work—before his father secures his kill.
As Ted does his best to figure out what’s important, find out who he truly is, and chisel out a place for himself in the world, he risks his life for unexpected friends who may just lead him in the direction he needs to go.
