Welcome to the Rim – a brutal frontier where untamed desert hides deadly secrets.
A land of scorching sun and unfulfilled dreams, the Rim is where the map ends and danger thrives. In this lawless world, survival is the only currency, and power belongs to those strong enough to take it. There’s only one name you need to know: Revere.
Moira and Adelaide Revere are legends. Smugglers, arms dealers, and thieves, these fierce women have carved their place in a man’s world, rising from the dust to rule the underworld with their unstoppable train.
But when an accident blinds her sister, Adelaide sees a chance to change everything—a fortune to save her sister’s sight and finally pull the Revere family out of the shadows of the back market.
Accompanied by her sisters, Adelaide leads a survey crew into the uncharted West Rim, a poisoned desert hiding untapped riches. But when Moira uncovers a bounty on their heads, they realize a deadly conspiracy is already in motion.
In a world where women must carve their own destiny with violence, the Rim is changing, and everything they’ve fought for could be lost forever.
“Riveting and dark, Smoke and Other Storms is a compelling, white-knuckle ride through a harsh, unforgiving desert world that feels as familiar as Portis’s True Grit and as fresh and visceral as Westworld. Modern and unapologetically feminist, Delavega’s roving band of women renegades are both fierce and endearing as they repay old debts with a vengeance, while never straying from their steadfast loyalty to one another. This dystopian, genre-bending gothic pulls you in fast and doesn’t let go!” — Paulette Kennedy, author of The Devil and Mrs. Davenport
