The Gold Rush Don: Blood of the West

The Story

Cassius hides his identity as the head of the Grant Syndicate behind the facade of a blacksmith in Free Creek. He adopted this disguise to repay Violet, his mistress, for saving his life. Violet betrays him by joining forces with Fletcher, a wealthy mining heir, and publicly humiliates Cassius. Meanwhile, Adelaide, the matriarch of the Sterling railroad family, recognizes Cassius from a custom meteorite iron pocket watch. She identifies him as her youngest son, who disappeared after a canyon ambush fifteen years ago. Fletcher attempts to destroy Cassius using capital and hired guns. Simultaneously, the Syndicate’s armed horse riders and the Sterling family’s private ironclad train arrive on the scene. Cassius moves to destroy those who betrayed him. He also seeks to uncover the traitor within his own family who ordered his assassination years earlier. Furthermore, he searches for the true love who took a bullet for him during a desert ambush five years prior.
