In 1914, after avenging his father, John Marston finds himself not liberated, but witnessing the death of an era-automobiles replacing horses, soldiers replacing gunslingers, the world being dragged into a war he cannot comprehend.

The Wastes are full of killers, dreamers, liars, and saints. Most men are a little of each. When Delvani falls in with a mysterious old Virgil, he begins a journey across an unforgiving frontier.

During the pandemic of 2020, Seth Mayhew discovers a long-forgotten recording preserved in the archives of the Library of Congress from 1949. The voice belongs to his great-grandfather Gregory Mayhew, recorded at the age of seventy-nine by Alan Lomax. What follows is the astonishing story of a summer in 1883 when the Kansas frontier witnessed the impossible. Gregory was only thirteen when his uncle Anton came into possession of a mysterious artifact known as the Rod of God, a relic rumored to carry the power to override nature itself. With it, Anton becomes the enigmatic showman of legend called Mr. Miracle, traveling the prairie in a painted circus wagon and performing wonders no stage magician could duplicate, or explain. But miracles have consequences too. Resurrection defies the natural order. Forbidden alchemy brings forth a strange child who may carry the soul of an ancient murdered immortal. And as the Miracle Wagon chases a wandering circus across the American West, faith, greed, and fear begin to follow close behind. Because magic that has been stolen from Creation itself, cannot remain hidden forever. And every miracle comes with a cost.

"Chad Nielson was just an average kid at with a not-so-average passion: fantasies of the days of the Old West, Gunslingers, and Wild Frontiers. He was regarded as a misfit by his peers, except for a few, including one, Luz Noceda, whose passion for Witches and Magic and similar treatment would make them friends. One day during Chad's summer vacation, he stumbled upon a strange portal, unknowing that it would take him to his own Frontier legend." I own nothing but my OC, Chad. The Owl House and its world, characters, and overall plot rightfully belong to Dana Terrace and Disney. (This is my first fanfiction I've written, so I may not be too devoted in writing it, but I'll sure try!)
