The year is 1875 and Fordham Fox is a young gambler setting out on
his quest to win enough money to purchase a horse farm for himself
and his accompanying best friend Bill Garrity. Fordham was raised
on a similar type farm in Kentucky where his Osage Indian
grandfather had taught him how to play cards. Gray Fox, Fordham's
grandfather, had also bestowed a secret gift on Fordham that
practically guaranteed him success in all games of chance. His
grandfather had also warned Fordham that the gift had a dark side,
which, unfortunately, the young gambler would soon experience.
Aboard the Robert E. Lee, a gambling riverboat, Fordham becomes
infatuated with a sixteen year-old beauty from Illinois,
accompanied by her philandering mother and her aging precocious
aunt. Tragedies occur aboard the Robert E. Lee that forever alters
Fordham's dreams, severs his Kentucky family ties for years, and
sets him on a relentless course of retaliation against the men who
had wronged him. Fordham's prowess with a Colt Peacemaker, and a
large Bowie knife with an inscription, Krima Eleusis, are further
gifts his Osage grandfather had bestowed upon him. men in the
practically lawless nineteenth century Arkansas Territory. He has
to accept a new name, a new family, and he is forced to make a new
best friend
