Ash Like Vengeance

Adelaide the Stranger is a name the West won't forget. A woman who loved her family and cherished her freedom, she's now a force bent on revenge in the bloodthirsty desert of the Rim.
After the Revere family's tragic betrayal and the loss of their train, the few remaining swear to make the men responsible pay. Their blood debt is far from settled.
In the mining penal colony, Adelaide haunts the streets, stalking the men who took everything from her and killed her sister. But her personal demons are just as deadly. As she hunts, she must confront the haunting legacy of her mother--a ghost she can no longer outrun.
Tesla the Widow, hiding with old friends, refuses to remain in the shadows any longer. When Adelaide's ransom note arrives, Tesla knows it's time to fight back, even if it means betrayal.
With the East-blood railroad expansion threatening to consume the land, the Reveres gamble everything on a secret weapon--a daring heist that could change the course of their future and restore their family's lost strength.
But this is the Rim--where alliances are fragile, trust is scarce, and only the ruthless survive. Vengeance is the only law here, and revenge comes at a steep price.
Let it be dark. Let it be bloody. Let it be the season of reckoning.
