Jake’s no hero — but he’s got great taste in women who are.

The country has gone dark. Texas has broken away. But the war is only a distraction. As power players stake their claims, something older and far stranger is moving beneath the surface — something no one could prepare for. Lovers Jake and Lys are caught in the subterfuge. As cities and scoundrels topple, Jake barrels west, chasing answers into a world where past and future collide — and where the real war hasn’t even begun.

The first book in an epic modern western — a dystopian and post-apocalyptic saga, West of Nowhere begins where civilization ends. While the science-fiction undertones pulse just beneath the surface, they ignite as the series unfolds.

For readers of Stephen King (The Dark Tower), Cormac McCarthy (No Country for Old Men/The Road), Emily St. John Mandel (Station Eleven), and for fans of The Last of Us. This story fuses post-collapse realism with slow-burning, otherworldly mystery — where love and vengeance walk the same road.

Read next: The Westerners: An Aether Gun Story, the prequel novella that reveals a glimpse behind the mountain.
