Blood Debt
(2026)(The first book in the Rowan Crowder Western series)
A novel by Paul L Thompson and Cassidy Vale
Every bounty leaves a mark. This one redraws the line between hunter and hunted.
Rowan Crowder makes his living balancing ledgers written in blood. Quiet, methodical, and relentless, he tracks men who believe they can outrun their past—and brings them in finished. When a routine job turns into a high-paying contract to recover a stolen ledger and a frightened young thief, Crowder expects dust, miles, and an easy payday.
Instead, he uncovers something far more dangerous. Powerful men are using paper and politics to steal land, crush families, and erase witnesses, and the book Crowder is paid to retrieve proves it all. Worse, the deeper he digs, the clearer it becomes that he was never meant to collect his fee. He was meant to disappear.
Hunted by killers, betrayed by employers, and forced to choose between his code and his survival, Crowder faces a reckoning that could end his career—or redefine it entirely. In a West where debt is inherited and justice is negotiable, walking away clean may be the deadliest mistake of all.
Hard-edged, atmospheric, and driven by moral tension, Blood Debt launches a powerful new series about a bounty hunter who learns that some accounts can’t be settled with a rope or a receipt.
Ride with Rowan Crowder today—and discover what happens when the man who collects debts becomes the one who’s owed justice.
