Redemption #1 of 5 (AWA Upshot, 2021)
A dusty, high-stakes Western set in a future that has forgotten the law.
In the world of Redemption, the frontier has returned, but with a brutal, dystopian twist. The town of Redemption is ruled by a corrupt sheriff who uses religion and fear to keep the populace in line. When a woman from the sheriff's past returns seeking justice for an old friend, she ignites a powder keg of violence that threatens to tear the town apart.
Written by Christa Faust, this series is a hard-edged reimagining of classic Western tropes, blending the grit of Unforgiven with a stark, post-apocalyptic aesthetic. It’s a story about the cost of standing up to tyranny and the heavy burden of a past that refuses to stay buried.
