The Queen City of the West is dying, and the desert is reclaiming the sea.
In 1875, a monstrous hurricane nearly wiped Indianola, Texas, off the map. Once the bustling gateway for every immigrant and shipment entering the frontier, the port is now a skeleton of salt-rotted wood and shattered dreams. The survivors are packing their wagons, and the vultures, led by a ruthless land-speculator named William Peterson are waiting for the final lamp to go out so they can seize the deep-water rights for a pittance.
Enter Barrett Evanwood.
Barrett isn't a lawman, and he isn't looking for a fight. He's a man with a transit, a set of blueprints, and a stubborn belief that a town worth building is a town worth saving.
Hired by a desperate collective of local merchants, Barrett arrives in the ruins of Indianola with a radical plan: to move the town's heart inland and build a sea wall that defies the Gulf itself. But Silas Vane doesn't want a town that stands; he wants a ghost town he can own. Between crooked surveyors, a dwindling supply of fresh water, and the looming threat of the next Great Storm, Barrett must convince a broken population to pick up their hammers one last time.
In the mud and the salt, Barrett Evanwood is about to learn that reviving a town takes more than engineering-it takes a miracle of grit.
