<p>Wyoming Territory 1870.<br><br>Elijah Carter is afflicted. Most of the townsfolk of South Pass City treat him as a simpleton because he's deaf but that's not his only problem. Something in Elijah runs contrary to nature and to God. Something that Elijah desperately tries to keep hidden.<br><br>Harlan Crane owner of the Empire saloon knows Elijah for what he is-and for all the ungodly things he wants. But Crane isn't the only one. Grady Mullins desires Elijah too but unlike Crane he refuses to push the kid.<br><br>When violence shatters Elijah's world he is caught between two very different men and two devastating urges: revenge and despair. In a boomtown teetering on the edge of a bust Elijah must face what it means to be a man in control of his own destiny and choose a course that might end his life . . . or truly begin it for the very first time.</p>
