Sundown : Origins

The start of a lifelong friendship, or the end of both their lives.
Everything has its own humble beginnings.

Winter at the Wyoming-Colorado border has a way of blowing the most peculiar things in through your front door. In John Bonham's case, his father's brought home a scruffy blond 17-year-old runaway from the Sweet Water Mountains. John, affectionately called Bonzo, learns quickly that the sickly blond kid his age, Robert, is hiding something besides black eyes and a broken tooth. Robert refuses to talk about where he came from, only revealing how he plans to ride his elderly paint gelding all the way to Mexico as fast as possible, and with no money in his pockets. But as luck would have it, the Bonham ranch needs one more hand to help on the cattle drive to Texas come spring. And Robert desperately needs the cash, and the shelter.

Robert proves to be a welcome and kind hand on the ranch, if a bit ditzy and talkative. But Bonzo just has to keep on wondering: What's got the blond so upset, he won't show his face around the law officers in town? And what is he hiding by keeping quiet about his past?

Sundown Origins takes you over the Nevada Territory's old hills and down the Goodnight-Loving Trail straight into Texas, where the real story begins.
