Storm Riders Books

Out of the smoke and fire of the Civil War, an unlikely friendship is forged. Two men emerge from the war’s ashes, cross paths, and decide to ride together, even though Carson Budrow wore Union blue and Garrett Roads Confederate gray. They form a cautious partnership and hook up with a cattle drive heading from Texas to Colorado. Fierce twisters, deep rivers, heartless desperadoes, bold Comanche with faces painted for war, and gun-toting, strong women will be on this drive. Worst of all is the gang tracking them and gunning for Budrow’s life, something not even his partner Roads or the two women in Budrow's life think they can do anything to stop.

Author duo Pura and Craig perfectly encapsulate the complexities of loyalty, forgiveness, and redemption against the backdrop of a turbulent era. —K.C. Finn for Readers’ Favorite on The Drive , the first book in the Storm Riders series Confederate officer Garrett Roads returns to his ranch in Texas after a long cattle drive and finds it burned to the ground, his family gunned down. As hard as this is for Roads to take in, it’s just as hard to be told his sister Alice’s finger was on the trigger, and now, she’s joined a gang of desperadoes robbing and murdering its way across the Texas plains. Family honor is at stake. So are innocent lives. Joined by his Yankee friend, Carson Budrow, Roads sets out to stop the killing spree and bring Alice to justice, regardless of what it takes. There will be long, dusty miles, attacks by bandits and Comanche warriors, floods, scorching heat, and betrayals. But the two men are determined to see the journey through and ensure honor is returned to the Roads’ family name. The Drive by Pura and Craig sets a strong foundation for a promising new series and this book did not disappoint. It was an endless adventure. —Frank Mutuma for Readers’ Favorite
