Where Dusk Devours the Sun

Annotation for Where Dusk Devours the Sun

By Echidna

When history is written in blood and lies, who will stand for the truth?

The West is a land of ghosts-of men buried in unmarked graves and legacies swallowed by dust. But some truths refuse to die.

Caleb Marsden has spent a lifetime riding the frontier, a man shaped by regret and the gun. He doesn't believe in redemption, only survival. But when he crosses paths with Theodore Bloom, a fever-ridden scholar clutching a ledger filled with damning secrets, Marsden finds himself hunted by something far worse than outlaws.

The Children of the Ashen Sun-a shadowy cult that does not just kill its enemies, but erases them from history.

Fleeing across the scorched wastelands of New Mexico Territory, Marsden, Bloom, and their reluctant allies-Wilma Dillon, a widow with steel in her veins, and her sharp-shooting son, Ash-race against time to reach Camino Falls, where the only law that still holds weight may be waiting in the hands of a lone judge. But the desert has eyes, and their enemies are already closing in.

Regulus.

A name whispered in fear. A ghost who walks in daylight, cloaked in dust and scripture. More than a leader of men, he is an architect of history itself, forging false truths to bury the past-and those who dare expose it. Marsden and Bloom have something he cannot allow to exist. And he will stop at nothing to ensure that when dusk devours the sun, their story ends in silence.

But some men will not be forgotten. Some names will not be erased.

Under a blood-red sky, in a town that teeters on the edge of oblivion, Marsden must make his final stand. He has outrun his fate long enough. Now, he must choose: fade into history like the countless dead before him, or carve a truth so deep into the land that not even the false prophets of the ashen sun can bury it.

Where Dusk Devours the Sun is a gripping tale of sacrifice, revenge, and the battle between truth and oblivion. Brutal as the frontier itself, and as haunting as the ghosts who still roam it.

For readers of Blood Meridian, The Revenant, and True Grit-this is the story of the last fight against a history that refuses to be written.

Stand in the dying light. Face the black sun. Some truths must never be buried.
