The Gathering

The Gathering is a novel that can be listened to as a standalone or as part of the Eli Stone Western series.

Whispers of betrayal. A blacksmith with the soul of a gunfighter. Secrets more valuable than gold.

Eli's quest for peace is shattered when the Gathering commences. Bounty hunters swarm the town of Shadow Gulch, each one drawn by the allure of wealth and the thrill of the hunt, but among them walks Eli—a man whose hammer shapes metal but whose heart seeks justice.

A sinister plot unfolds as the hunters’ presence disturbs more than just the peace of the Gulch. With an unlikely alliance of defenders at his side, Eli must confront his past as a lawman to protect a future where honor can thrive. As the lines between friend and foe blur, Eli’s grip on his revolver tightens, for in the heart of the Gathering, every ally hides their own agenda, and every handshake could precede a duel.

When the shadows cast by the bounty hunters threaten to engulf the town, Eli stands as the last ember of justice in a place that has long forgotten its meaning. In a war where bullets whisper death and the truth is as scarce as mercy, will Eli's courage fan the flames of hope, or will he be consumed by the inferno of greed and vengeance?

The Gathering is a Western tale that rides hard through a landscape of treachery and redemption. If you crave a story where the echo of every gunshot tells a tale of life and death, join Eli Stone in his relentless pursuit of a peace as fleeting as a shadow on the high noon plains.
