Trail of Broken Spurs: Book Three (Legacy in the Dust Series (6) Books 3)

Ben McGraw has always tried to be the kind of man his mother raised him to be—honest, hardworking, and fiercely loyal to family. But on the rugged hills of North Central Idaho, where blood and land are tangled as tightly as barbed wire, loyalty can cost more than a man is willing to pay.

Adelene McGraw, once the quiet backbone of the family ranch, is now a grandmother watching her son carry the weight of legacy. She knows all too well how quickly the ground can shift beneath a person’s feet—how tragedy can strike like lightning, leaving everything scorched in its wake.

When a tragic accident fractures the family, the trail forward becomes a maze of guilt, silence, and suspicion. Old wounds reopen. Tempers flare. And the ghosts of the past—some buried, some not—begin to ride close behind.

As Ben struggles to keep his marriage from crumbling and his children from drifting apart, he finds himself walking a path that feels hauntingly familiar. The land he loves offers no easy answers, only hard choices and painful reckonings. And the deeper he digs for truth, the more dangerous the secrets become.

Adelene, haunted by echoes of her own childhood, must decide how much of the past to share—before the weight of silence destroys everything they’ve built. And when one of the children begins to unravel the story behind the accident, the family’s fragile peace is thrown into question.

Trail of Broken Spurs is a story of generational grit and grace—a powerful exploration of what it means to protect the ones you love, even when the trail gets rough. It’s about fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, and the invisible scars passed down through time.

In a land where the wind still sings through broken fences and the past never stays buried, the McGraw family faces its deepest trial yet. This time, it’s not just the ranch at stake—it’s the soul of the family itself.

Heart-wrenching, atmospheric, and steeped in the music of memory, this third installment in the Legacy in the Dust series brings readers deeper into a family saga carved from the American West.

For fans of sweeping generational stories, rural drama, and emotionally complex characters, Trail of Broken Spurs delivers a powerful tale of redemption, reckoning, and resilience.

The trail may be broken, but the ride isn’t over.
