Part 1 of The Eye of Ur, a new dark fantasy western series.
All maps end at the Forlorn Hills. The trail through the mountains is seldom taken. Those that do travel through the Forlorn Hills disappear or come back deranged. But when his children are kidnapped by a tribe known only to legends, Jessie Bingham must leave his farm and venture into the last uncharted region in the West. Aided by a riddle-reciting relic, a drunk, and a prince, he embarks on the Forlorn Trail. If Jessie is to rescue his children and return to his quiet life on the frontier, he will have to learn more about this mysterious relic and the once-great empire which crafted it. To do that, he must first embrace the life of an outlaw, forge alliances with old enemies, and walk the line between myth and history.
Take the Forlorn Trail into a world where the West was never won.
