About To Hell and Back

They ran from a war…now they’re running for their lives.

In the lawless shadows of a dying Civil War, Jed Coal and John Noland desert Quantrill’s Raiders, fleeing through the chaos of Kansas with the Union Army, Confederate diehards, and U.S. Marshals hot on their trail. With infamous outlaws like Frank and Jesse James in their past and blood on their hands, they know there’s no going back.

Jodi Goodnight, niece of legendary Texan rancher Charles Goodnight, never planned to be an outlaw. But one pistol-whipped sheriff later, she’s branded a fugitive. When she crosses paths with the brooding, battle-hardened Jed Coal, the fuse is lit—on a romance neither of them asked for and a war they can’t escape.

Bound by violence, driven by desperation, and hunted by every badge in the West, the trio must fight not just for freedom—but to stay human in a world that’s already written them off as dead.

Will they go down in a blaze of gunfire—or rewrite their destinies on their own terms?
