The past don't stay buried when it's got unfinished business.**
Bo thought he'd left his demons in the red Georgia clay. But when riders come bearing a message from Mississippi—from the devil who raised him—he knows his war is far from over.
Denton Reeves built an empire on broken boys and twisted loyalty, teaching them to call chains "honor" and submission "pride." Years ago, Bo walked away from that hell. Now Reeves wants him back.
With Clara at his side and fire in his blood, Bo rides south into a reckoning twenty years in the making. But Reeves's plantation kingdom isn't just built on fear—it's built on the backs of children who still believe their chains are crowns.
In the shadow of Spanish moss and burning barns, Bo must face the man who made him a killer... and the boy he used to be. Because some sins can only be washed clean with blood.
And in the post-war South, the clay is always thirsty.
