Sinopsis

In "Patronage," Maria Edgeworth intricately weaves themes of social and personal relationships against the backdrop of early 19th-century British society. The novel employs a realist literary style, characterized by its nuanced character development and a focus on the moral dilemmas faced by the gentry. Edgeworth meticulously explores the nuances of patronage and its implications for personal integrity and societal obligation. This exploration is set within a framework of evolving social hierarchies, reflecting the author's keen awareness of the shifting landscape of her time, particularly in the wake of the French Revolution and the challenge to traditional norms. Maria Edgeworth, an influential figure in the development of the novel as a form, drew from her own experiences of navigating the complexities of class and gender. Her extensive background in education and her progressive views on women's roles in society undoubtedly informed the intricate characterizations and social critiques found in "Patronage." Her connections with literary figures and her dedication to moral philosophy further shaped her narrative style, underpinning the novel's rich exploration of human relationships. "Patronage" is recommended for those interested in early feminist literature, social criticism, and the evolution of the novel form. Edgeworth's insightful commentary and compelling storytelling invite readers to reflect on the nature of influence and the ethical considerations that accompany personal ambition. This novel is not just a reflection of its time, but a timeless exploration of the human condition.

They call him Ghost. A hard man with a hard past, Garret "Ghost" McCoy will never forget the day his family was brutally attacked by vicious marauders. It forced him to grow up fast, get tough even faster, and sharpen every skill to survive—by gun, by knife, or by fist. A true loner and silent stalker, Ghost is the kind of no-nonsense bounty hunter who always gets his man. Dead or alive. But it's only a matter of time before his reputation catches up with him—in a dusty dead-end town called Coyote Flats . . . 
 
 
 
It starts with a killing. Three murderous cattle rustlers with a bounty on their heads reach the end of the line on the streets of Coyote Flats—where Ghost guns them down in a shootout. Impressed by the bounty hunter's gun skills, the leader of a local outlaw gang makes Ghost an offer he can't refuse. But Ghost refuses anyway. Which ticks off the outlaw—and draws the attention of another leader of another outlaw gang. Like it or not, Ghost is stuck in the middle of a gang war between two fierce rivals. But there's something about the second gang that's different. Something familiar . . . 
 
 
 
They're the marauders who killed Ghost's family. And now they're about to get Ghosted.
