A man is waiting for them, but during an ambush he is killed, so Carter and the kids run. Although, they are soon hunted down and caught by Morgan, the cowboy who worked with the man waiting for them. As a sentiment to the older man, Morgan takes the kids in against their will and decides to help raise them to Carter's displeasure. He is strict and expects them to work on the ranch, and Carter is set on getting away and taking the kids with her to start a life without the Cowboys. Although they try, their attempts to leave always end badly, with a reminder of what breaking the rules means. But Carter isn't giving up yet.

After her father and brother were killed in the failed rebellion, Cecily never imagined that things could get worse. But one night, soldiers storm her small village and show her how wrong she was. As part of their punishment for daring to rise against the king, soldiers are permitted to ransack the rebel villages, destroying or taking whatever they want, and killing or capturing whoever they want. In a split second, Cecily's world is turned upside down as she is ripped away from her family and the only life she's ever known. She has no idea where she's headed or what will happen to her once she arrives, and she's terrified of finding out. Will she even survive? Did her family survive when they tried to defend her? Will she ever see them again if they're all lucky enough to stay alive? One man will determine her fate and if he's anything like the others, Cecily is positive that will mean nothing good for her. (Companion story to Keira's Fire)
