Annyrose Smith is a true child of calamity, but she is determined to overcome it. So what if she’s an orphan? So what if she’s stuck with the vilest landlady in California, while her brother’s off trying to strike gold? So what if Joaquín Murieta and his band of notorious outlaws swoop in and take her away? The fearsome bandit thinks Annyrose can help him in his quest for justice, and she thinks he can help her search for her long-lost brother.

Instead, he got poor fast, digging in the wrong places. His stint as a sagebrush newspaperman led to a duel with pistols. Had he not survived, the world would nev
