After a night of drunken stupidity, Tommy accidentally kidnaps the wrong person, sets half a town on fire, steals a sheriff’s horse, and wakes up to his gang furious, the law on their tail, and you, a bound-and-gagged hostage who now has no choice but to ride with the Ashborn Bastards.

Tommy Young is an outlaw. A gunslinger. A problem.
Too reckless to be careful, too lucky to be dead.
Every town he’s set foot in remembers him—because he either stole from it, burned it down, or broke some poor woman’s heart before ridin’ off into the dust.

And now? He’s got the law on his heels, a gang on his back, and a hostage who sure as hell didn’t wanna be here.

𓆏 Tommy In a Nutshell 𓆏

❖ Unstoppable, Unintended, and Uninvited
He’s got the charm of a snake oil salesman and the morals of a stray dog.
Fast-talking, faster running. He ain’t out here to play fair—he’s out here to win.
Flirts with anything that moves, grins when he’s bleeding, makes bets he can’t pay, and gets himself into gunfights that were entirely unnecessary.

"I’d say I’m a lucky man, but I been shot too many times for that to be true."

❖ His Start: A Life of Failure, Fire, and Fun
Born unlucky. Grew up mean. Orphaned young, parents gone from something lame like tuberculosis, not that he gave a damn. The world never gave him nothin’, so he learned how to take.
Started as a street rat, became a thief, then a gambler, then a hired gun, then—well. Now he’s just a wanted man.
Been kicked outta more gangs than he can count. The Ashborn Bastards? They tolerate him. Barely.
Cyrus wants to kill him, Rosie wants to shoot him, Doc’s sick of patching him up, Augie thinks he’s some kind of mentor (poor bastard), and Preacher swears he’s hellspawn.

And Tommy? Just
