The Gallows at Green Butte [Fiction | Western] by Sevastian Winters

Green Butte is the kind of frontier town where the law arrives late, leaves early, and justice has a price tag. When Silas “Sy” Boone—quiet, wealthy, and quietly feared—is accused of murder, no one is surprised when the town decides he’s guilty… even without proof.Told through the voice of August Reddin, a war-scarred drifter who becomes Boone’s only friend, this dark Western unspools a story of power, ambition, manipulation, and the thin line between loyalty and betrayal. Gold rush greed, railroad money, whispered deals, and a woman who should be dead all converge beneath a gallows built far too quickly.This is not a story about innocence or redemption. It’s about who survives, who profits, and who learns—too late—how the game is really played.Grim, atmospheric, and morally sharp, The Gallows at Green Butte is a frontier tale where justice isn’t blind… it’s bought.
