It's 1860, and after a childhood spent on the grueling frontier of the Old West, Mae Clemens has finally found a place that feels like home.

Autumn is desperate to escape Mae's hardscrabble world, but survival soon takes precedence. Vicious outlaws plague the drought-stricken town, and deadly fear grows with the mystery of missing children.
