IN ONE YEAR, THE EMPIRE WILL HANG BRINA’S FATHER.
SHE WON’T LET THEM.

Brina Springtide carries her father’s legacy like a curse. She was only a child when his assassination of the empire’s divine ruler cast the realm into chaos and ripped apart what remained of her family.

No longer alone, she finds herself surrounded by the very people the empire swore to destroy: sparkgazers. Inspired by Brina’s father, these sorcerers have been conspiring in secret to tear down the empire.

Step one of their plan? To free the man who started it all.

With a crew of unlikely companions, Brina sets out for the infamous prison of God’s Maul. Between its blackened walls and labyrinthine passages, her father counts his final days.

She might get in, but will she get back out?

Jack Grice had spent his life running. He grew up at a wild time and did what he had to do to survive. The law took one view of it; he took another. And the law wouldn’t get off his back. He did time, broke out of prison. He went north, hoping to leave the past behind. But the past followed him. And now there were murder charges. Whichever way he turned, trouble was right there. This is his account of what happened. Jack was born in Charleston in 1861. His parents died early of cholera and his guardian died when he was fifteen, leaving him penniless and alone. He went west and got work as a cattle drover. He shot an outlaw who was trying to rob him. Another outlaw, named Ibbetson, got away alive. Later, he ran across a cowboy called Skeeter on a cattle drive. They met again in a saloon and Skeeter asked him to help drive a herd of horses. Jack didn’t know they were stolen. He was arrested, went to jail. During his trial, he broke out of the courthouse with another inmate, who shot a courthouse constable. After that, a rope was waiting. He went north and got work on a ranch called Sand River. For a while it looked like he’d outrun trouble. He did the job and stayed clean. But up there, range wars were being fought. Ranchers hired range detectives to handle trouble. To some, they were hired killers. One of them was Ibbetson. When they met again, Jack knew it wouldn’t end well. His past had arrived.

A Wall Street go-getter surprises his wife with a birthday gift beyond her wildest dreams – a fixer-upper house in Brooklyn, where in the course of their renovations a metal box stuffed with cash falls from the ceiling.

It’s a saga of love, lust, greed, double-crossing, prison, betrayal and redemption on that long, crooked road to the truth. Found money looks like easy money, but looks can be deceiving.
