The Reveres are bad women. Smugglers, arms dealers, and thieves, they have carved their name with blood and rails, rising from the dust to rule the violent frontier. Lead is cheap, life is cheaper.
After an accident blinds her sister, Adelaide "The Stranger" Revere seizes an opportunity to change their status from railroad thieves to something more -a fortune to save her sister's sight and the chance to finally rid her family of the last men standing in their way.
Accompanied by two of her sisters, Adelaide leads a survey crew into the uncharted West Rim, a poisonous desert plagued by storms and hiding untapped riches. But when her grandmother Moira "The Raven" uncovers a bounty on their heads, they realize a deadly conspiracy is already in motion, and the greed of men knows no ends.
The Rim is changing, and if the Reveres don't fight, everything they've worked for will be ripped away.
