The Dark Ranger Saga: Chasing Shadows
They say the frontier’s full of ghosts. Some walk. Some shoot back.
All Dodger ever wanted was to live up to the stories his father told—of honor, of duty, of men who stood tall when no one else would. But when a vampire named Sumter Allen massacres his father's homestead and leaves him for dead, Dodger is dragged back from the edge by something old, cruel, and sacred. The curse isn’t a gift. It’s a brand. And now he rides as one of the half-dead, with fire in his blood and a name to hunt.
His path takes him through haunted towns, cursed trails, and a country sick with its own bloodlust. Along the way, he forges an uneasy alliance with Biikoo’usei, a towering Arapaho shapeshifter with her own reasons to fight. Together they carve a trail of righteous fury across the Weird West, guided not by law, but by a creed older than nations—written in hoofprints, marked in gunfire.
No oaths. No politics. Just justice.
But every step forward costs something. Every bullet chips away at what’s left of the boy who used to dream. Because when vengeance collides with duty, which wins out—the man, or the monster?
