Some secrets are worth killing for.

In the lawless Cape Colony, a town’s silence is bought with blood.

And a lone woman has come to collect the debt.

The desolate northern Cape Colony, late 1800s. The dusty border town of Graskolk bakes under a sun as unforgiving as its secrets. When the beautiful and heavily armed Roelien van der Spuy rides in, she shatters the town’s suffocating silence.

She’s come seeking the truth about her father, a prospector who vanished two years ago after discovering a fortune in blood-red gems. But in Graskolk, questions are met with cold stares and deadly threats, and her arrival awakens a nest of vipers determined to bury their crimes with her.

Hunted by a shadowy conspiracy, Roelien finds an unlikely ally in the formidable frontiersman, Ryk Schoonraad. From venomous snakes left in her room to being trapped in a dynamited mine, they must survive long enough to unravel a web of greed and murder that stretches to the town’s most powerful men.
