THE CAÑADA DEL HUESO SERIES
Six books. One sweeping frontier saga.
Follow Mateo Rios and Eliza Calder across a land where water is power,
loyalty is tested, and every choice leaves a mark.
Book 1
Blood In Bone Canyon
The canyon remembers what men forget.
Because in Cañada del Hueso, water is worth more than blood.
When Mateo RÃos returns home to bury his father, he finds a land dying of thirst and marked by hidden forces fighting over its most precious resource. As old loyalties fracture and buried secrets emerge, survival depends on learning the language of a canyon that never forgets.
Book 2
Black Water Betrayal
The well is failing. The riders are watching. And every day the valley grows thirstier.
The violence has ended, but the real struggle is only beginning. As wells fail and strangers hunt forgotten records, Mateo and Eliza discover that the battle is no longer just for water—but for the hidden network of routes, ledgers, and agreements that has sustained generations.
Book 3
The Open Territory
The hidden systems are no longer hidden. Now the frontier must decide what comes next.
The hidden systems that protected the frontier have been exposed. As settlements, soldiers, ranchers, and tribes compete for the surviving ledgers, Mateo and Eliza face a question more dangerous than any gunfight: who should control the systems that keep people alive?
Book 4
Common Crossing
The hidden systems have become a common trust. Now they must survive in the open.
As winter settles across the New Mexico Territory, Mateo and Eliza discover that protecting the frontier's hidden network was only the beginning. As political pressure, disputed claims, and competing visions of authority test every decision, they must prove that shared stewardship can endure without the shelter of secrecy.
Book 5
The Water War
Survival depends on more than controlling water. It depends on who can be trusted.
As winter strains roads, water, and freight across the frontier, Mateo and Eliza face a threat growing inside the system meant to protect them. False authority, missing records, and disappearing witnesses expose weaknesses no enemy could exploit alone and uncover a history that challenges everything Mateo believed about the responsibility he inherited.
Book 6
Bone Canyon
Every system was built to keep people alive. Now someone must decide who will carry that responsibility.
The final reckoning returns to the canyon where it all began. As the last powers converge and Tomás RÃos's legacy is finally revealed, Mateo and Eliza must decide who should inherit the responsibility for the systems that have kept the frontier alive—and what kind of future they are willing to leave behind.
