Princezin ranč
The King of Westerns, in his posthumously published novel "Princess Ranch" (1942), weaves a tense story of love, courage, and the clash of old tradition with new chaos. In addition to classic cowboy motifs, Prohibition and gangsters appear.
Madge "Majesty" Stewart, the spoiled daughter of rancher Gene Stewart, comes from the bright, party-filled Hollywood of partying and rebellion. Dropped out of college for her wild nights out, she returns home with a retinue of rowdy friends, bringing a whirlwind of problems: shady men, secret parties, and the threat of Prohibition-era gangsters. Her father, an old cowboy who is hiding the mortgage on the ranch from his wife, is desperate to save the family legacy.
Enter Lance Sidway, a fearless movie horse trainer and owner of the legendary stallion Umpque. After a violent fight in Hollywood where he protects Madge from a drunken thug, Lance is on the run from the law and stumbles upon a ranch. Hired to restore the property in the face of cattle rustlers who chase after her with trucks and machine guns instead of horses and revolvers, Lance becomes the protector of the ranch - and the heart of its fiery owner.
But danger lurks in the shadows: a gang of gangsters kidnaps Madge, setting off a whirlwind of rescues, shootouts, and revelations of family secrets. Lance risks everything—his life and his heart—to “tame” the rebellious ranch princess, while loyal rancher Nels, heir to Grey’s classic hero, helps fight the modern-day outlaws.
The sequel to “Starlight of the West,” this novel blends romance with action, exploring how love can save a ranch—and a soul—in an era when the Old West faces new demons. Perfect for Western fans who want thrills, romance, and a lesson in courage in the face of change.
