It's 1911 along the border between the United States and Mexico. Victoria and her mother, Maria, live a life surrounded by crime and danger, always evading the law.
Victoria, though haunted by the life they lead, remains a kind and grateful daughter, her compassion reserved for those who have not yet earned death. But at night, her mind drifts to a simple, peaceful life-one without violence or uncertainty. Unfortunately, that dream remains just that-an impossible dream.
Ethan and Billy are determined to see Victoria and Maria behind bars. Ethan is driven by a sense of duty, while Billy, once a man of privilege, lost everything to addiction and despair. His hatred for criminals runs deep, and he sees Victoria as a symbol of everything that's wrong in the world.
In a desperate bid for survival, Victoria is forced to play a dangerous game with Billy-seducing him to save herself and her mother from certain capture. But as she navigates the treacherous terrain of manipulation and desire, her world begins to unravel. Billy's icy resolve begins to crack, and his feelings for Victoria evolve into something far more dangerous than either of them expected.
Meanwhile, a new threat emerges-a vengeful Mexican woman hunts those responsible for the murder of her brothers, and her thirst for revenge threatens to destroy everything in her path.
Will they find a chance at peace, or will the collision of past sins and present dangers lead to an even darker future? Billy and Victoria's fates are bound together-yet the price of survival may be too high for them to pay. Every choice will determine their fate, and not everyone will make it out alive.

And finally, through the first snowflakes that started tumbling through the harsh wind, I spotted two silhouettes. Clad in thick winter coats, guns strapped to their backs. Each step filled with grim determination as they waded through the knee-high snow towards us.
They stopped a few feet away. The taller man's eyes met mine. He carried himself with silent confidence, evident in the expression on his weathered, undeniably handsome face. Sky-blue eyes framed by thick brows, chapped, full lips, a crooked nose.
An association lingered in the back of my head, but I couldn't quite grasp it, until I asked: „Who are you?"

Oh, the hatred that she holds for Dutch van der Linde. While running with the O'Driscolls for over ten years, this man had been the bane of her existence.
Now, three years after leaving the gang, she gets lost up in the Grizzlies on the run from the bounty on her head. When she saves one of Van der Linde's men from a wolf attack and gets taken in by them as an ally, she has to face that hatred again. And then there's also Arthur Morgan, Dutch's right hand man, who won't let her forget either that they were enemies once.
