Tareena Rising

A well-to-do cowboy leaves his wife and gathers a crew to mine valuable gems up north. But when his crew returns without him, the new widow decides to take up her husband’s business. As she begins to manage the industrial operation she finds that control from her domestic sphere is limited and that the high capital of precious gems can come with bloody consequence. •
