Description
Dan Scoular, a man of immense physical strength, is a figure revered in his community. A bare-knuckle fight offers him both financial gain and a sense of purpose, but as he navigates this monumental struggle, he finds himself torn between preserving his heritage and holding onto his integrity. In the decaying mining town where he lives, Scoular's legend has grown alongside the decline of the industry. As the stakes rise in the fight, he must confront the consequences of his actions and decide what truly matters to him. This powerful novel explores themes of identity, community, and the human condition, set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world.
