Paperback. Skull Pepper HideawayBook Two of the Mercer Bloodline SeriesIn 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. Rumors surface that Digger John, the man responsible for Jack's death, may still be alive-and that others may be searching for what lies hidden in the mountains. As Sly's presence draws attention and his curiosity deepens, danger follows them back toward the hideaway.Sly is torn between preservation and revelation. He believes the truth buried in the cave deserves careful study and eventual understanding. Jeb, shaped by betrayal and loss, knows how quickly knowledge can turn deadly. Their generational divide sharpens into conflict, but it also forges Sly into a young man of discernment, patience, and principle.When spring finally arrives, Sly discovers a sealed chamber beneath the cave floor-its contents confirming the full scope of what Skull Pepper Hideaway protects. With measured trust and weary faith, Jeb places the future of the hideaway into Sly's hands.By the novel's end, Sly Mercer is no longer a runaway youth. He is a capable frontiersman, a thoughtful chronicler of the past, and a steward of a legacy larger than himself.Skull Pepper Hideaway, Book Two of the Mercer Bloodline series, is a richly layered Western adventure-part survival story, part historical mystery, and part meditation on mentorship, legacy, and the silent agreements made between men, history, and the land itself.

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. Rumors surface that Digger John, the man responsible for Jack’s death, may still be alive—and that others may be searching for what lies hidden in the mountains. As Sly’s presence draws attention and his curiosity deepens, danger follows them back toward the hideaway.
