Defense for the Newbie

Oliver_Roben
In the dusty frontier town of Silver Ridge, 1877, fresh-faced attorney Eli Dawson arrives from the East with nothing but a law degree and a suitcase full of books. He’s hoping to start a quiet life practicing law, but instead walks into a town on the brink of chaos—lawmen are scarce, outlaws are bold, and justice is often decided by a quick draw rather than a courtroom. When a young ranch hand is accused of murdering the son of the wealthiest land baron in the region, Eli is the only man willing—or foolish enough—to take the case. Facing threats from all sides and pressure to quit, Eli must find the strength to stand firm and navigate a corrupt system, gun-slinging rivals, and his own fears. With the help of a mysterious saloon owner and a retired gunslinger turned judge, Eli learns that in the Wild West, true justice isn’t just about knowing the law—it’s about having the grit to defend it.
