He rode away once-and it cost him everything.
Years ago, he left her behind in a town that was already turning mean. He told himself it was the only way to survive. The only way to outrun the kind of trouble that doesn't stop hunting.
He was wrong.
Now he's come back to find a place changed, a town ruled by men who take what they want and bury the rest. And the girl he left behind? She's still there-caught in something darker than he ever imagined.
This time, he doesn't ride alone. This time, he doesn't leave.
Because some debts don't fade with distance. And some promises don't die.
In a town where mercy is weakness and loyalty gets you killed, one man is riding straight into the fire-
To take her back... or die trying.
