About the book
"The Rainbow Trail" by Zane Grey is a Western novel published in 1915. Set twelve years after "Riders of the Purple Sage," the story follows John Shefford, a former clergyman searching for Fay Larkin in the remote Arizona-Utah borderlands. His quest leads him to a hidden Mormon village of "sealed wives," where he encounters a mysterious woman called the Sago Lily. As federal prosecutors arrive to prosecute polygamists, Shefford uncovers secrets that challenge everything he believes about faith, justice, and freedom in the desert frontier.
