Meanwhile, former Confederate Brig General HENRY LOWE is plotting the takeover of the Oklahoma Territory from Brazil with the assistance of his right hand, Lt JOHN ADDINGTON & his wife VICTORIA as they strategically move their chess pieces into position. But someone is watching, Victoria’s personal slave MARY seems to be carefully following their every move.

The Black Horse Cavalry’s failure to eliminate Bass Reeves and Quanah Parker has pushed Lowe into working with an unorthodox colleague from the War that could elevate an already harmful conflict to an all out bloody war.

All things come to a head as Bass, Wyatt and Quanah come face to face with the Witcher and his boys on the streets of Atoka.
