Trail's End

A bloody, botched bank robbery leaves Tom, Logan and the other survivors of Marlon Lee's gang running for their lives from legendary bounty hunter Cross.Desperate to escape him, they cut far north into a remote, snowbound territory and find survivors of a wagon train attacked by an Indian war party. Tom's Comanche friend Billy warns them the area is known to Indians as the home of a fierce, but little seen tribe, that hunt everything at this time of year, including men. The group push on north regardless, more afraid of Cross than of Billy's superstitions. The snows come and the wagon train is attacked that night by an unseen tribe. The group journey on, hoping to escape the tribe's hunting grounds before nightfall. They prepare to defend the camp that night, but are ambushed during a snowstorm. Tom and Marlon witness one of their group being killed by a figure more beast than man. The next day Cross offers a temporary truce and leads them to a cavalry outpost in a nearby forest. But the fort is abandoned and bears the bloody marks of a terrible battle. Cross finds the commanding officer's diary and reads of how the soldiers tried to repel a terrible tribe of creatures that hunt at night. As night falls, Tom, Cross and the other survivors prepare to make a final stand.
