Rags somehow escaped, but we have yet to know how, or how she managed to get to Rondo. In this story, we are immediately thrown into the action of a rustler's life and the dangers that lurk around every corner ready to end them. From there, we enter Rondo and are greeted by harsh winter, a populace that is reliant on Rags and Tracker, but fears and hates Rags differences and the bounty on her head (a blue eyed crop child that has been branded a 'witch' by the towns Sheriff, Hunter). Tension reigns inside of Rondo, but more terror lies on the horizon with Kingdom Corps aiming to make an example of Rondo (through means of complete obliteration at the hands of their second in command, Henny). Rags is a feisty, independent young woman. She is restless, fearful, angry, but denies herself any dreams in favor of caring for those she loves. She is beyond selfless, several times she is offered escape, but refuses to take it. I love her character, her charm, her easy blushing in terms of things outside rustling (romance, love, dreams). There are also several other characters, all with their own agendas, and the reader is left with the same dilemma Rags must face, who do you trust when it comes to your family, your life and your freedom? An excellent read, highly recommend this book, especially if you love the wild west, fantasy, and a large dose of steam punk. Including, a top notch heroine, her trusty half horse-half donkey steed, two hard edged young men fighting for and against her, and townsfolk just as ready to murder you in your sleep as help with the next batch of rations. I received this ebook from The Parliament House in exchange for an honest review.
