Blood on the Western Dust

The West was built on dust, blood, and buried secrets.When a sealed coffin from Transylvania is smuggled across the ocean and carried into the American frontier, Baron Viktor Draven believes he has found the perfect place to build a kingdom of darkness. In the wide-open West, men disappear easily. Cattle die without explanation. Towns blame wolves, fever, bad luck, or whiskey before they believe in monsters.But Caleb Kane knows something is wrong when bloodless cattle begin appearing near Draven House.Mara Voss arrives with silver knives, old warnings, and the truth no one wants to hear: the thing beneath Draven's mansion is not a rumor. It is ancient, hungry, and waking fast.As the dead rise, the town of Mercy Crossing must learn new rules for survival. Lead will not save them. Fear will not save them. Only silver, fire, holy water, and courage can hold back the night.With Caleb marked by a vampire bite, Mara haunted by her family's past, Silas Crowe hiding fear behind sharp jokes, and the cavalry riding west with silver by the ton, the frontier becomes a battlefield between the living and the blood-hungry dead.But the fall of Draven House is only the beginning.Because something older has noticed the West.And the coffin trail has just begun. See less
