About A Poison Spreads: Jack Seeks the Antidote

In this thrilling Young Adult Western Fiction adventure, the seventh chapter of The Frontier Chronicles rides hard into the heart of danger, where a young cowboy’s mission collides with a nation’s rising unrest.

At just twenty years old, Jack O’Toole has already survived more than most men twice his age. But now, in 1859 Texas, as a poison of hatred spreads across the land, Jack’s bold crusade is under siege from all sides.

Slave catchers are closing in, tensions with local tribes are ready to explode, and a vigilante mob nearly ends his journey before it begins. Still, Jack won’t quit. Guided by his deep faith and cowboy grit, he fights to keep his promise—to train his ragtag followers, build trust between enemies, and prove that courage and compassion are stronger than fear.

As the stakes rise, Jack faces his biggest questions yet: Can he keep the dream alive without losing himself? Is there truly a place for peace in a land pulling itself apart?

A Poison Spreads: Jack Seeks the Antidote is a coming-of-age Western full of action, heart, and purpose—where loyalty is tested, leadership is earned, and freedom is the most dangerous trail of all.
