The Yellow Horde

In the quiet foothills of the western range, night erupts with a wild chorus of plovers, nighthawks and a thousand howling coyotes. Collins, a lone wolfer, listens from his cabin, finding humor in the untamed music that mocks the men who try to eradicate the predators. His reputation as the “Coyote Prophet” grows as his predictions about the animals’ survival repeatedly prove true.

The story follows Breed, a young wolf‑coyote hybrid marked by a striking yellow coat, torn between the call of his mother’s prairie kin and the lure of the high‑country wolf pack that raised him. As settlers place bounties on the yellow horde, Breed must navigate a landscape where every rustle in the sage could mean a trap or a chance at freedom. The opening sets the stage for a tense showdown between man, wolf, and the resilient coyotes that refuse to disappear.
