Comment: "The nights were dark and long, and when the fires had dwindled to ash and ember, the pioneers huddled close. They whispered fearsome tales of Lejube Rogue, the white Indian who ghosted through the untamed land seeking the man who had murdered his father and seduced his mother." So begins the haunting tale by Patricia L. White that has already demonstrated its own legendary success, having won both an Eppie and a Frankfurt Book Award.

The sound of pain and dying pulled Lejube Rogue to the boy belly-crawling along the trail, leaving a trail of blood behind him. Rogue intuits that he had begun the path leading to his own doom, yet he is drawn irresistibly onward. As he slings the boy over his shoulder, Rogue cannot ignore the prickles of warning along the back of his neck.

Unknown men had kidnapped the boy's sister Faith after shooting the boy and leaving him to die. Such cruelty is virtually unknown, even among outlaws. When the boy begs the man who saves his life to go after his sister, Rogue cannot refuse despite his own mission. Leaving the boy hidden, Rogue rides his horse Ghost after the evil that would prey on children.

All he has left is his word. But keeping the vow given to his grandfather to kill his father's murderer gave his life purpose in an otherwise empty existence. Rogue had become a legend, called the White Indian because he was trained by the old Shaman Eagle Flying when his name was still Patrick Scanlon. Now he is called "Lejube Rogue, the demon who walks the mountains." Folks also say he's "the demon who had no fear, no soul, and no love to stay his hand, the White Indian who killed without mercy or compassion."

THE LEGEND OF LEJUBE ROGUE is one of those haunting, compelling stories that I just couldn't put down. This extraordinary tale doesn't yield to ordinary plot lines and characterization. Instead, the surreal depth and poignant characterization creates a tale that promises to excite the memory in the same way all good legends do because it could have happened. Reaching beyond the genre of the western, THE LEGEND OF LEJUBE ROGUE is a classic account of human nature with a dignity seldom matched. Very highly recommend.
