The Rifters
The Gold Rush trickles to a fool’s quest and a string
of stagecoach heists. In 1888, Earl Blacke decides to make a new start and
become a better man. He escapes into the mountains, heading north. In the wilds
of Oregon, a rift inside an ancient volcano opens and sends him into the
future, into the present day. It also shaves forty years off his age, forty
years to live over again and atone for what he’s done.
Starting over is hard to do. In current day New York,
Daelin Long’s dream job at a publishing house goes the way of the dinosaurs her
sister chases. With no money and nowhere else to go, Daelin accepts the
librarian position in her sister’s dinky town in the middle of Oregon. Nestled
inside ancient volcanic peaks, the town of Settler holds onto many secrets.
Residents roam the streets with weirdly fashioned devices, and odd lights pulse
in the night skies. People whisper of a phantom outlaw and start dying,
murdered and missing their heads. On top of it all, Daelin’s sister is missing,
and Daelin doesn’t know who to trust.
Earl knows more than he’s saying. He shares a
notorious history with the phantom, one he’ll see remains buried. Keeping
Daelin’s sister’s secrets is his only chance at redemption, and the only way to
keep this world safe.
