"As John Curry galloped across the desert to save the life of an Indian child, he was thrown from his horse and badly injured. He was saved from certain death by a woman whose husband became his deadly enemy. Wilbur Newton was both jealous and afraid - jealous of the love of his beautiful and lonely wife, who seemed each day more powerfully attracted to the dashing Curry, and fearful for the safety of an ingenious scheme. How Curry became involved despite himself in a dangerous triangle, and how he prepared to sacrifice his own life for an Indian girl makes a spine-tingling tale set against a background of Arizona desert color and Navajo life."

From the dustjacket: "Here at last is the great romance of the American Indian - revealing in the swift march of its events the tragedy and the glory of a whole race, and the true essence of the West, as only Zane Grey can express it. It is the romance of Nophaie, the young Nopah warrior, cursed with the strange and conflicting heritage of a white man's education and the fierce soul of an Indian. How Marian Warner, golden-haired, fascinating, came from the East to the bleak tablelands of the great Western reservation, and how she shared with Nophaie his struggles in behalf of his people, make a story more enthralling than any Zane Grey has before written."

"Adam Larey believes himself guilty of a terrible crime and goes into the solitude of the Great American Desert to expiate it. He and his brother had quarreled over a pretty Mexican girl, and Adam had shot the other boy, and rushed away, thinking he had killed his brother. There are other people in the wastelands who for various strange reasons are avoiding cities and civilization, and Adam, who is a young giant, defends helpless women, rescues a gold prospector whose claim has been jumped and who is being abused by bandits, and finally falls in love with the girl who is instrumental in bringing him back to civilization." The Paramount Picture starring Jack Holt, filmed in the Painted Desert of Arizona, was made from this story.
