They destroyed her home. They kidnapped her siblings. But Shy South is not the type to back down.
Once hoping to leave behind a violent past, Shy is forced to embrace her ruthless side to rescue her family. Armed with only grit, two oxen, and a cowardly stepfather named Lamb, she heads into the lawless Far Country—a place where pasts never stay buried.
But Lamb’s history is darker than Shy could’ve guessed. As they journey through gold-fevered towns and over treacherous mountains, they find themselves entangled in duels, massacres, and worse: an alliance with Nicomo Cosca, a mercenary no one should trust.
The stakes? Everything. Shy must decide—how far will she go to bring her family back? Will vengeance be enough?
In the end, blood might be the only answer.
