Chapter 2 II All The Light Was Faint

Chapter 2 II All The Light Was Faint

In the high country of Wyoming, the line between survival and ruin is as thin as a rope cinched to a bull. Tompall Coe tasted glory in an arena and now feels the crushing weight of hostile forces on the ranch. A man caught between two worlds—fame that flickers bright and fast under the rodeo lights, and the slow grind of storms, debt, and a failing livelyhood back home. With his wife expecting their first child and corporate buyers circling like vultures, Tompall is forced to confront the question every rancher dreads: what’s worth holding on to, and what’s worth letting go? Gritty, raw, and unflinching, The North Line is a story of pride and sacrifice, of faith tested on both sacred ground and muddy pastures, and of one man’s fight to keep his name, his land, and his soul intact in a world determined to take them from him
