In Book One--The Messenger--Sky Strummar arrives in Arizona with news of his parents that changes the lives of the family they left behind. To his sister Elena, he offers a balm to soothe her guilt. To his brother Jesse, he is an example of finding happiness despite their father's crimes. To his brother Aaron, a wild boy living in the mountains, he is a companion. But to his cock-of-the-walk brother Lobo, he is the fulfillment of a curse. Jealous of Sky's inheritance, Lobo conspires to plot against him only to be outclassed with aplomb. In Book Two--Tell the Kid I'm Dead--Lobo rides north to escape. Without admitting his destination, he wanders onto his mother's ranch in southeast Colorado. Welcomed into her clan, he disrupts the neighborhood's peace with his habitual unlawful habits until a lame woman seals his fate. Set in the early Twentieth Century, Lobo's story exemplifies the growing pains of a nation leaving the wild frontier behind to accommodate a fast-changing world.
