When Major Frank Paddock and Barnes Kilrone were dashing young officers in Paris, they had both fallen in love with the same woman.

While Paddock leads his company of soldiers in pursuit of a Bannock war party that has massacred one of his patrols, Kilrone is left to guard a fortress full of women and children. And in a matter of hours Kilrone knows that Paddock's choice was wrong, fatally wrong. Fueled by a white man's greed, the Indians are aiming for the fort--and Kilrone's fight will be to the end--.
