Elko, Nevada Territory · Spring 1885. Ellie Voss and Cormac Daly are married in April — quietly, at the courthouse, with Vera and Benitez and the Reyes family in attendance. The mine is producing well. The cooperative has five members and a water contract. The adit chamber is in early production with its eight percent revenue share flowing to Winnemucca's family. Everything is, by any reasonable measure, working. And then: a woman arrives in Elko claiming to be Cormac Daly's wife from County Clare — a marriage he says was annulled, a woman who says it was not — and the question of what it means to build a life on ground you believed was solid but may not be opens under Ellie's feet.
