Their main source of income is a mercantile store in Lincoln known as the House.After escaping jail, William Bonney—a.k.a. Billy the Kid—is a seventeen-year-old orphan who’s been on the run for the better part of two years.

But when Billy crosses one of the members, the gang sets out to kill him.Billy narrowly escapes, finding refuge under the tutelage of John Tunstall, an English immigrant new to the territory who has his sights set on opening a business in Lincoln—and he’s intent on competing directly with the House. But when Tunstall is murdered, any positive effect the mentor had on Billy is eradicated, leaving the Kid with only one thing on his mind …Revenge.From orphan to outlaw to killer, this is the untold story behind the legend of Billy the Kid.
