Never before published in hardcover, this thrilling conclusion to Robert Jordan's acclaimed Fallon trilogy traces the family's fortunes as it expands westward. The Fallon Legacy is a tale of a father and son who never meet but share a destiny.

Like his father and grandfather before him, James Fallon is a man of vision and of iron will. But where his forebears were men of the sea, he is a man of the vast land of northern Mexico -- a land called Texas.

James sets out for Stephen Austin's colony of Americans with dreams of a horse-breeding empire. The land is harsh, and he soon learns that the Fallon past harbors deadly shadows: Cordelia Applegate and Gerard Fourrier. With political influence, hired pistoleros, and Comanche warriors, they seek to destroy all Fallons.

But James has more pressing troubles than this legacy of hatred and revenge. He and the other settlers, including Jim Bowie, Austin, and Sam Houston, are outraged as their property rights come and go with the shifting winds of Mexican politics. Rumors from Mexico City say that Santa Anna will soon be on the march to drive the yanquis out of Mexico, and events are moving swiftly toward a fateful encounter, the most galvanizing event in the history of Texas --
