Description: [edit] [history]

One good dig is all that separates the haves from the have nots

And one mistake is all that separates the living from the dead…

Ezra Holloway and Vincent McCleary move out West to claim their fortunes during the height of the Gold Rush. Down on their luck, and desperate, they'll do anything to provide for their destitute families. As ruthless powers emerge and struggle to secure a monopoly, this window of incredible opportunity is rapidly closing.

Meanwhile, the tumultuous birth of the industrial age, fueled by oil, is giving rise to a second frenetic rush. Hungry for their share, they struggle against the cut-throat competition of others every bit as eager to claim the prize.

They'll do anything to bring home the motherlode, but their bloodthirsty foreman and the powers that be, will do anything to see them swing from a rope. Blood will be spilled. The only question is whose will it be?

If you like LitRPG and Westerns, this just might be your ticket. The LitRPG elements are revealed slowly over time. They are introduced in the initial chapter, but subsequently are only hinted at in the earlier chapters and reemerge later.

This is a long, slow burn story with a strong focus on character and worldbuilding. But there's also plenty of danger and action as well. If that's your glass of whiskey, then saddle up partner, for a thrilling ride!
