Yellowstone: Blood, Bone, and Branding Iron
28 parts Complete Eighteen-year-old Natalie has lived through more loss and violence than most men on the Yellowstone ranch could imagine. Orphaned at five, scarred and branded with the names of the foster sisters she couldn't save, Natalie has carved out a place for herself as foreman of her grandfather's ranch. With her loyal service dog Blade at her side, she's as tough in the branding pen as she is in the rodeo arena.
When the Dutton crew comes to help with branding season, they find more than long days and hard work-they find Natalie. A girl who carries her past on her skin, who leads with grit, intelligence, and scars that tell a story none of them expected.
But Natalie's ghosts aren't done with her. As Sheriff Haskell-who once saved her life-pulls her into a case tied to her past, Natalie must decide if she'll let the pain consume her, or fight for the life, family, and future she deserves.
A gritty, emotional Yellowstone fanfiction about survival, scars, and the strength it takes to carry the weight of memory.
