This is the final few pages of my series "Tales of a Repentant Sinner", so, you know spoiler alert. Chance Allen is a killer who has spent seven years in a gang, before leaving to wander. His life has been one of near misses, gunfights and even swordfighting. He's made it through life the hard way, his only money coming from what he's taken from the dead. Then he meets Jennica, who has faced hard roads since she was captured in a raid on her town by a tribal gang called the Northers. She was sold as a slave three times before she met Chance. Together they brave the deserts called the Disputed Lands, and find themselves in the home of Chance's only friend Jeffery McCandles. The two soon find out that all is not well in the small Deseretian town when another rancher starts a range war, and Chance is pulled back into the role of a murderer, thief and cutthroat. He soon faces the choice between the woman he loves or the life he's always wanted. This all culminates in the final moments of the series.
