The Desperado’s Redemption

About The Desperado’s Redemption

Russell Jones and his heretic lover Anastasia are walking the razor’s edge. While once they were content to rob travelers on distant provincial roads, Russell’s greed now drives him to pursue more profitable targets on the capital’s highways. After they plunder the carriages of Pope Malthus, leader of the Luminance Theocracy, they’re quickly captured and put on trial. Malthus exiles Russell to a distant penal colony on the Marish Sea, while Anastasia is sentenced to be burned at the stake for her heretical crimes against the theocracy. Russell swears revenge against the Luminance Pope, and when a crew of mutineers stage a prisonbreak at the penal colony, he might finally get his chance to fulfill his bloody promise. But will Russell be able to lead the Marish Sea’s people in a desperate uprising against their oppressors? And are he and Anastasia entangled in something much more sinister than they understand?​
