On the frontier world of Ethos, law is thin, danger is constant, and peace never lasts for long.

In the growing town of Meede, Marshal Matt Finn keeps order the best he can among settlers, drifters, natives, and outlaws on a planet still struggling to find its future. But when old hatreds rise, blood is spilled, and ruthless enemies begin closing in from every side, Matt finds himself facing far more than the everyday violence of frontier life.

What begins with robbery, murder, and tension between settlers and native tribes soon erupts into something far more deadly. Pirates descend from the skies, war tears across the land, and the fragile world Matt has sworn to protect is pushed to the edge of ruin.

As Meede burns, loyalties are tested, unlikely alliances are forged, and the people of Ethos must decide what kind of world they are willing to fight for.

Set against a vivid alien frontier of cinnamon-scented seas, desert crossings, mountain strongholds, and lawless outposts, this sweeping science-fiction western is a story of courage, sacrifice, survival, and the stubborn hope it takes to build a future in a dangerous new world.
