Remnants

In the quiet aftermath of bloodshed, the truth begins to stir. Winter deepens in the San Juan Mountains, but for Ben and his family, the real storm is just beginning. When a routine response to smoke in the valley reveals the charred remains of a homestead—and a message meant for Ben—uneasy questions rise to the surface. Victor Slade is still out there. And he’s not alone. As whispers of a possible alliance between two of the region’s most dangerous men reach Ben’s ears, the fragile peace at the family’s mountain refuge begins to crack. Joel and Allie struggle to hold onto their sense of right and wrong as Ben, once their steady guide, begins to slip further into the shadow of the man he’s hunting. With loyalties tested and secrets buried deep, the fight for survival is no longer just about defending their home. It’s about exposing the truth before it’s too late for those still holding on in Durango. Because if there’s ever going to be a future worth rebuilding, the people left behind deserve to know what they’re up against. And in a world this broken what comes next won’t wait for them to be ready.
