We make permanence out of dirt, boy. Don't ever let anybody tell you that's not holy.
Bartholomew Whitfield Lane is nine years old when his father teaches him the poetry of steel - watching the mills of 1960s Pittsburgh breathe fire into the night sky above the Monongahela. He will spend the rest of his life converting that faith into empire: from the casting floors of Hazelwood to the boardrooms of New York, from other men's intuition into documented, ownable power.
But empires demand payment.
Maia Pak is the soul who awakens his conscience - and the woman whose letters he will answer, in secret, for twenty-three years. Aris is the son who inherits his choices and who must decide what to do with them. And in the ancient city of Benaras, where clay lamps drift down the river as they have since before memory, Bartholomew will finally confront the question he has outrun across two continents and three decades: what a man owes to his ambition, and what he owes to everyone it cost.
Spanning the steel towns of America, the monasteries of the Himalayas, and the ghats of the Ganges, Crimson Saffron Horizon is a sweeping saga of love and loss, revolution and redemption - of ancient wisdom colliding with modern ambition, and of a horizon painted in the colours of blood, saffron, and hope.
A story for readers of epic, multigenerational fiction - where East meets West, and the hardest path is the truest one.
