DUST, LEAD, AND FANGS: The Battle for America's Deadliest Frontier.
The year is 1888. The Wild West is a sun-baked landscape of dust and blood. Settlers dug too deep into ancient desert mesas, unburying a terror sleeping for millennia: the First Brood. Now, the frontier is a desperate warzone where supernatural predators hunt human survivors. By day, the scorching sun protects the living. Lawmen and outlaws maintain order with silver bullets and stakes. But at sunset, the territory belongs to the Nightwalkers: gritty, lethal predators adapted to the West, hiding in abandoned mines and raiding isolated boomtowns. At the center lies Crimson Ridge, a silver mining town caught in the crossfire. To survive the night, mortal enemies must stand together against the fangs. Will you defend the final frontier, or embrace the eternal thirst?!

Intro
- The autumn wind howls through the desolate canyons of New Canaan, carrying the sharp scent of ozone, dry dust, and spilled copper. It is October 26, 1888. The final, bruised purple rays of sunset are bleeding out over the jagged horizon of Crimson Ridge, casting impossibly long shadows across the wooden boardwalks of Main Street. For the living, this is the most terrifying hour of the day. The rhythmic, reassuring thud of the silver mines begins to quiet down, replaced by the ominous click of iron padlocks, the frantic scraping of heavy window shutters being barred from the inside, and the tense, synchronized clicking of revolvers being loaded in the dark. Down at the end of the dusty thoroughfare, the swinging doors of the saloon creak in the wind. A lone tumbleweed drifts past the hitching posts. The desert sun is officially gone. The heat of the day evaporates into a bitter, biting cold, and from the deep, uncharted blackness of the surrounding mesas, the first echoing howls of the Nightwalkers begin to pierce the twilight. The hunting grounds are open. The sun has set. Who are you, where are you taking cover, and do you have silver in your cylinder?*
