19th Stories

In a land where the law rides slower than the bullet, justice must be taken, by grit, by gun, and by the ghosts of a man's past. Silas McGraw is a former army scout turned reluctant avenger. When the Doyle Gang leaves a town in ashes, Silas sets out across the unforgiving frontier to hunt them down. But vengeance is never a straight path, especially in a world built on betrayal, blood, and broken promises. With him rides Ezekiel Boone, an ex-preacher with a rifle and a past he can't outrun. Along their journey, they cross paths with bounty hunters, war-scarred outlaws, and a woman who may hold the key to Silas's redemption, or his ruin. From sun-scorched canyons to snow-covered peaks, Ashes of the West is a story of loyalty, survival, and the dying breath of a lawless age. For in the West, everyone has a price, and some debts are paid in blood.

Prologue In the late 1800s, love is rarely allowed to be simple. They grew up side by side, childhood friends bounded by memories that never truly faded. But when tragedy clamis those they both depends on, his future is shaped by duty-and hers is guarded by fear. This a romance of courage and consequences: one that begins with distance, grows through tension, and leaves them standing at the edge of something real-waiting for what the next chapter might allow.

My Mother always said, "Adaline we do not go off of what ifs and maybes." But I could not stop thinking about them. My mind would go off on random day dreams. Like what if the world decided to let by gone's be by gone's and all got along for the greater good. Or what if I met a gentleman and I loved him, living happily ever after. Those day dreams, they were not always ending in happy ever afters. My brain sometimes gets ahead of itself and does not stop. So I would sometimes think about sad things; what if I never get to see my family again? What if I never get to love a child that is mine? Maybe I will not find someone to love or love me. Maybe I would get forced into a marriage without passion and trust. I will not have it, I cannot. These tangents were not always sunshine and rainbows. That is why I would have to come back to reality. To realize that the only thing you can be sure of, is what actually is. The summer of 1878, I visited my Aunts Château de Haroué in Lorraine. Supposedly, I would be introduced to society; I had come of age. A ball would be had, a ball where one would find a husband. A contract of marriage. They called it a Debutante Ball. Or was it all a lie? Cover Photos: Pinterest

In the catacombs, graveyards and sewers, rats feast and breed. Their community is larger than the entire human population, and every year hundreds of these humans decend into such places and disappear, often assumed to have been consumed by the numerous rats. This is an explanation that works, and one that most people at the turn of the 19th century was happy with. But the vanishing people didn't always decend into the sewers voluntarily, or at all.
