The Wretched and Undone - J. E. Weiner

\nA searing Southern Gothic saga unfolds in the Texas Hill Country, where history's silenced voices rise amidst an astonishing tale.\n \nOn the eve of the Civil War, Polish immigrants Marcin and Agnieszka Anderwald arrive in Bandera, Texas, seeking a fresh start in a new land of fertile soil and freedom. But their dreams quickly become nightmares when Marcin provokes a sinister specter hell-bent on revenge. A battle ensues for the hearts, minds, and souls of the Anderwalds and their extended family of immigrant outcasts, Arab camel wranglers, wounded warriors, and a songstress on the verge of madness. As the generations unfold, each must confront its darkest fears. Can faith, love, and sacrifice overcome unrelenting evil, or will the Anderwalds remain forever wretched and undone?\n \nThe Wretched and Undone is a sweeping saga set in the heart of the Texas Hill Country and inspired by real people and actual events. Heralded as a genre-bending thrill ride through Old Texas, with characters so well-crafted they crawl off the page, the novel was named a Killer Nashville Top Pick for 2024 and a Claymore Award Finalist for Best Southern Gothic.\n
