    Summary

    The year is 1887. A Chinese cowboy and a woman disguised as a courier walk into a saloon, but this isn't a joke. Nor is it a tall-tale.

    Hsu Jiang, a railroad laborer turned bounty hunter, wants justice for the Legion's massacre of his family. The Legion, a proto-fascist white supremacist organization, is hell-bent on raising the Antebellum South from the grave.

    Lenore Calhoun, a courier with a bullet scar and a vendetta, wants revenge for her family's murder. Their past as abolitionists and Union sympathizers made them a target.

    In Durango, their paths collide, and a deal is struck: ride together to hunt the men who destroyed their lives. Their journey will take them from the Colorado mountains to Salt Lake City, Utah, to the deserts of Yuma, and to the golden fields of central California, forcing them to confront the brutal past that binds them.

    “Folk fear what they do not understand. But for my kin… it’s not fear. It’s grief. Grief for what we’ve lost, what we’ve endured. For what has been forgotten. It wasn't just white men who built this railroad. It was built on the sacrifice of my people.”

    — Hsu Jiang

    Summary

    "Life is hard, soft-child. Be grateful that you are alive and free; that is more than many can say. Ask for anything more, and you are only asking for disappointment."

     

     

    After almost two centuries of crushed hopes, Brand-Shei should know that his mother was right, and the best thing you can do is to make peace with what you have. But letting go of dreams is never quite that easy, and still he longs to know the truth of his identity. He only wants to know what names to say at his Waiting Door, but when a pair of adventuring dragon-hunters get involved in his search, what they uncover will have the power to transform more than just one Argonian elf's private prayers.

    Summary

    (In which the NSA forces Simon to marry Jack in order to keep an eye on him.)

    After the supers ban was made official, the NSA had their work cut out for them, engineering new, normal lives for those once believed to be gods. Day after day, supers were reduced to a single file, liabilities to be “dealt with.”

    The nightmare was almost over, with only one man left to deal with—Jackson Hart, better known as Gamma Jack.

    No female supers fit the mold well enough to be assigned to play house with Jack, and even if they could withstand his toxic abilities (and personality), it would just be plain cruel to subject any woman to a life married to the guy.

    Fortunately, there was one person who fit the profile the NSA was looking for: immune to the light spectrum, and by proxy, Jack. Strong enough to hold their own. The one person who wasn’t afraid of him. Unfortunately for Jack, that person happened to be a man.

    Gazerbeam, AKA Simon Paladino
