Character Descriptions

BIBLE JONES- A gunslinger you always want on your side, no matter the odds. His unusual first name came from his mother who said, “Jones is an ordinary name and my son’s far from ordinary, so he needs a first name as distinctive as he will be in life.”

KAI (RUNNING DEER)- An amazing sharpshooter Comanche woman who was better at hunting and fighting than any boy her age. Now that she’s a woman, she’s invincible.

ABIGAIL RALEIGH- A 13-year-old young girl who escaped a stagecoach robbery that took her father’s life. On her way to California.

Synopsis

Bible Jones is searching for his younger sister Ruth who was kidnapped two years ago by two white men and an Apache. Relentless in his pursuit of the last member of his family, Bible’s journey crosses paths with outlaws, renegades, and mercenaries.

When he kills a small band of Comanches and taken prisoner, he’s given the opportunity to win back his freedom in a life-or-death fight with the tribe’s fiercest warrior, Quentin Parker. Bible kills Quentin but is severely wounded. Collapsing on the trail, he awakens to his wound being treated and a beautiful Comanche woman, Kai (Running Deer). Kai was to be Quentin’s bride and with his death, she now belongs to Bible.

Bible apologizes for now wanting to marry her but agrees to help her get far from her tribe. They then encounter a burning stagecoach and discover a 13-year-old girl, Abigail Raliegh. Abigail’s father was killed during the robbery, so her only family is in California.

The trio travel together on one path with three different goals – Bible to find Ruth, Kai to find herself and Abigail to find her family.

Before they reach their final destination, Apache warriors will try to kill them, Kai will almost die from an infected wound, Abigail will be forced to kill a man defending them and when they finally find Ruth, it is too late. She’s in love with one of her captors, Coy and runs away from Bible to be with the outlaw.
