Skull Pepper Hideaway Book Two of the Mercer Bloodline Series In the late 1860s, seventeen-year-old Silas “Sly” Mercer leaves the worn fields of his Arkansas home and heads west, driven by a quiet certainty that his life is meant for more than inherited land and unanswered expectations. America is still scarred by war, the frontier still untamed, and Sly carries little with him beyond resolve and a hunger for meaning. His journey nearly ends in the mountains when a violent encounter leaves him gravely wounded. He is saved by Jeb Hardgrove, a hardened frontiersman and former gunslinger whose life has narrowed to survival, solitude, and memory. Jeb brings Sly to Skull Pepper Hideaway—a remote mountain refuge he and his brother once discovered and claimed, where a hand-built cabin rests over a concealed cave system carved deep into stone. Since the death of his brother Jack, the hideaway has been Jeb’s sanctuary, his burden, and his unspoken vow. Winter seals the two men into isolation. As Sly recovers, he begins reading Jack Hardgrove’s journals and keeping his own. What he uncovers reaches far beyond personal history. Within the cave lie ancient Native artifacts, evidence of a vanished Spanish expedition, and—most astonishing—proof that Norse explorers may have penetrated deep into North America centuries before Columbus. Carved runes, foreign weapons, gold coins, stone tablets, and preserved scrolls tell a story of forgotten convergence and lost civilizations hidden from the world. As Sly studies the relics—learning Spanish and slowly deciphering Norse scripts—he is also apprenticed into frontier life. Jeb teaches him to hunt, shoot, navigate storms, repair tack, and survive without illusion. Their relationship is spare and restrained, built on work and trust rather than words, yet beneath it lies a growing, unspoken bond that neither man names aloud. Trips into nearby towns like Dry Creek and Rockvale remind them that isolation has limits.©2023 Dean Lambros (P)2026 Dean Lambros Historical
