On a long ago day, but impossible to forget, a terrible oath echoed in front of Lilyth’s tomb. Aquila della Notte, placing a lance on the grave, promised that his wife would be avenged! Tex tells his son, Kit, about events from many years earlier: Brennan and Teller, two shady traffickers, in order to avenge themselves on the ranger who had put them behind bars, commissioned Tucker, Higgins and other unscrupulous cutthroats to despatch a stock of smallpox infected blankets to Freccia Rossa’s Navajo camp. Lilyth, together with many other Indians, thus met a horrendous death.
