Companions & Rivals
The folks Cassidy Brooks rides with — and the one who keeps crossing her trail. Fictional character lore.
Juniper
Her horse
A dun mare Cassidy freed from a box canyon at twenty-one and has ridden ever since. Faster than gossip, calmer than Cassidy in a storm. Knows the fording line almost as well as her rider.
Doc Merritt
Old friend
Dustwater’s farrier, seventy and going strong. Taught Cassidy to read a horse’s mood, a trail’s temper, and a liar’s eyes — in that order. His forge is her unofficial office.
Wren Calloway
Apprentice
Seventeen, quick, and trying too hard — which is exactly how Cassidy was at seventeen. Cassidy is teaching her the territory the way Gideon Voss taught Cassidy: one water hole at a time.
Marshal Ada Kincaid
Friendly foil
Marshal of Dustwater. Believes in law; Cassidy believes in getting folks home. They argue about it over coffee every Sunday and have never once been wrong to trust each other.
Cole Tanner
Rival
“The fastest draw in three counties” and the only man Cassidy ever lost an argument to — at age eleven, over a frog. They grew up together in Dustwater; he chose the outlaw trail, she chose the scout’s. She keeps talking him out of trouble. He keeps providing the trouble. See the High Noon Duel.
Silas Vane
Antagonist
Mine baron of Copper Flats. Owns the copper, the company store, and — he believes — the territory’s future. Cassidy has stood between him and what he wants three times now. He’s counting.
