1873, Kansas. Jasper Jas Sterling, a former Union soldier haunted by loss, wants nothing more than a quiet life raising his children on the unforgiving prairie. But peace is shattered when a violent tear in reality - a Shimmerin' Light - erupts in his cabin, and a desperate figure from beyond time steals his son and daughter.
Left with only a strange, futuristic device dropped by the kidnapper, Jas is thrust onto an impossible path. Accidentally activating the artifact, he's flung decades into the future - a bewildering 1927 New York City of roaring machines and towering steel canyons. Stranded and alone, he must navigate this terrifying new era, hunted by forces he doesn't understand, and driven by a father's unwavering promise.
Teaming up with an unlikely ally, a curious librarian named Evie O'Connell, Jas must learn to track the temporal echoes left by the mysterious Runner who holds his children captive. But the chase across time reveals unsettling questions: Who is the Runner truly fleeing? And why do his children seem less like captives and more like willing participants?
The first novel in the Sterling's Pursuit series, this is a gripping blend of Western grit and high-stakes science fiction - a relentless chase across history fueled by love, loss, and the desperate hope for reunion.
