   Summary

   Arthur Morgan dies at sunrise, believing he has finally earned his redemption, only to awaken fully healed in 2026, torn from the mountain that should have been his grave. In a century that has paved over the frontier and forgotten men like him, he must confront a world that no longer needs outlaws and a future he never asked to survive. As he struggles to redefine freedom, morality, and identity without the myth that shaped him, he forms a slow, fragile connection with someone who sees the man beneath the legend. Forced to choose between clinging to a past that is long gone or embracing a second life he never expected, Arthur must decide whether survival is a curse or the one mercy he has left.
