All That's Left Behind

Every man keeps a ledger. Some just write theirs in blood.

Silas Mercer has ridden twenty years for Tobias McCallister, believing the work was righteous and the brotherhood was real. Then Jackson Pass. For the first time in twenty years, Silas starts keeping his own count.

Cass rides back into his life. Eighteen years gone, running a crew of her own.

The papers call Tobias a phantom, a prophet, a terror. Silas knew the man, which is worse. And the reckoning he's spent a lifetime outrunning waits above the tree line, in winter, on a mountain that keeps what it's owed.

You can outrun the law. You can't outrun what made you.

ALL THAT'S LEFT BEHIND is a brutal, elegiac literary Western about inheritance, violence, and the terrible grace of a truth told too late. Set in 1883 in the fictional Anjeer State of the Pacific Northwest, it is the first book of The Inheritance Saga.

A Western built to be held

Author, illustrator and art director Daniel Penton designed every page of this book himself. The print edition carries original charcoal illustrations, a hand-drawn map of Anjeer State, and archival artifacts pulled from Silas Mercer's own journal. Nothing in it was generated. All of it was crafted.

For readers of No Country for Old Men, Lonesome Dove, The Sisters Brothers, and Hell or High Water.
