1800s action action-adventure catholicism femaleprotagonist historical oldwest religion western

Courier and part-time hired gun Cassandra "Cassie" Starling thrives in the morally grey business and open road of the American West until a bandit attack nearly kills her, forcing Cassie to rebuild her life from ground zero while she searches for answers - and revenge. Told in a tale of adventure, hardship, faith, and discovery by Cassie herself, her travels around the slowly growing less wild West bring her face-to-face with everyone from rich bankers and fashionable socialites to ruthless outlaws, and through a series of chance encounters, cause her to question why the lifestyle she follows - and her desire for vengeance - is so different than what her Catholic childhood once taught her.
