In 1891, the world is ruled by men with gold in their pockets and blood on their hands. She was raised among the first kind. He rides with the second.
Marianne Blackbourne is the daughter of the richest man of the west Mississippi.
She is sent further west to marry a banker's son she's never met, a transaction of wealth for obedience.
Her wagon is ambushed by a ruthless gang of outlaws. She and her brother are held captive in a camp ruled by violence and dust. Marianne finds herself surrounded by the kind of men society calls monsters, whom she calls Godless monsters.
The gang's quietest yet most skilled and dangerous man, Rhett Gallagher, wants nothing to do with her. They clash. They challenge. And in the heat of survival, they begin to unravel each other-layer by guarded layer.
She teaches him how to feel again.
He teaches her how to fight.
And together, they begin to ask the hardest questions of all:
What makes a man good?
Who gets to decide what is right?
What is love? (baby don't hurt me, no mo~)
Built from Dust, Bound to Dust is a slow-burning Western about blood, grace, truth and love. What happens when two broken souls find love in lawless, money-hungry lands?
