Description
Set in the sweltering American South of 1867, Dark Prairie: Forged by Blood, Bound by Choice is a powerful historical novel by a Black American Author that explores vengeance, survival, and the enduring cost of freedom. When two former slaves take brutal revenge on their master, the act leaves a permanent mark on a young sharecropper’s son, John Ware, igniting a chain of events that echoes across generations.
Fleeing South Carolina, John’s family joins a westward wagon train alongside legendary figures Nat Love and Mary Fields. As their journeys diverge, each forges a different destiny—one becoming a cowboy, one rising into legend, and one fading into a shadow driven by vengeance. Yet the past refuses to stay buried.
A disfigured enemy from their shared beginning stalks the frontier with blood on his mind, while the notorious outlaw Cherokee Bill spreads violence across the plains and U.S. Marshal Bass Reeves closes in with relentless justice. From Dodge City to Fort Worth, danger follows every step.
Blending real historical figures with imagined lives, Dark Prairie honors the untold stories of Black cowboys, outlaws, and women who carved survival from hostile land. These were not stories preserved in textbooks—they were forged through grit, sacrifice, and blood on the American frontier.
