The Youngest Avenger
About this audiobook
A new Young Adult western by WR Benton
In the poor rural midwest, many a young man relished the opportunity of landing a good paying job. Even a temporary job was a rare blessing; but this offer, guarding a Wells Fargo stage coach carrying a shipment of gold was also a dangerous job.
Looking much older than his 15-years, Willy is thrilled at the prospect of honest work, even if it means tangling with some outlaws. He jumps at the chance to make some good money. But when those robbers show their ugly faces, Willy's bravado almost fails him and things go sour quickly. Wounded, but due to his quick actions, the stage makes it to the next stop with cargo intact.
Will reunites with his father, a gambler by profession. That night they are bushwhacked in their hotel room by some sore losers. Now orphaned Willy strikes out again, this time seeking a way to make a new life for himself.
Luckily, Willy is befriended by Sally, an amazing and impressive young woman. Willy is drawn to Sally's smarts and her zest for life. With the sudden death of Sally's father, a family power struggle ensues. She is named the main heir of her father's not inconsiderable fortune. A slighted brother and uncle wage war against sister as the feud escalates. Soon blood is drawn and Willy will do his utmost to protect the woman he fiercely admires.
Nefarious forces are stacked against them, but Willy is a stubborn foe to those with evil intent and wickedness in their hearts. A red hot blazing adventure that will keep you turning pages late into the night, from bestseller W.R. Benton.
