Description
1860: Lord Stoker is wandering the Great Plains of the American West when he stumbles across a female survivor of a vicious attack. Traumatised and rendered mute by her experiences, Stoker resolves to escort her to St Louis and leave her with the authorities. His plans are foiled by the enigmatic explorer Richard Burton who has a role for Stoker in his own mission for the Crown. The stakes are raised by the arrival of Buller, Stoker’s brutal and hot-headed brother, and the psychotic blackmailer James Maybrick.
Stoker is drawn into a whirlwind of deceit, depravity and violence as he struggles to protect the girl he rescued. His journey takes him into America’s ferocious frontier where secrets are revealed and blood is spilled.
Games of cat and mouse unfold but is Stoker the cat or the mouse?

Stoker was a thrilling adventurous read. I absolutely love reading Western stories and this one did not disappoint. I would love for there to be a sequel and I think the author was talented in creating an atmosphere that was memorable and intriguing. I highly recommend this book to fans of the Wild West and want an exciting read.
Stoker is different from what I normally read, but I decided to try something different. The story is good with the wagon train and description of the West. Overall, however, I couldn't connect with this story. I think fans of western fiction will enjoy this one. Thanks to NetGalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.
