Bloodrush
Scarlet Star Book 1
In the wild frontier town of Fell Falls, there dwells only dust, death, and secrets.
When Prime Lord Hark is murdered, his orphaned son Merion finds his opulent world stripped away. His father’s final wishes force Merion west across the Iron Ocean to live with an aunt he never knew existed, to the Endless Lands and the very brink of the known world. To a place they call Fell Falls, Wyoming.
As Merion struggles with his new life with Aunt Lilain, the town’s undertaker, he vows to find a way home to London and catch his father’s killer. Merion has one ally to help him stay alive and unravel the mystery: the faerie warrior Rhin. A hunted outcast of the Fae realm, Rhin’s dark past can finally be forgotten in the Endless Lands. Or so he thinks.
Revenge and redemption are never easy. There are dark forces at work in Fell Falls, and not merely the railwraiths or the encroaching wilderness. The arrival of fellow Empire heir Calidae Serped threatens to lead him astray, and Lilain is hiding a secret that lurks in the Hark bloodline.
A secret that will open up a world of magic buried by empire and industry.
Weird west meets alternate history, Bloodrush is a twisting fantasy adventure steeped in blood magic, folklore, found family, and forbidden knowledge.
