The Rising Star Group is now one of the great companies of the West, with thousands of workers, stores in every city, and shares traded on the Exchange. For Caleb Walker, the peddler who once counted pennies, it should be enough.
It isn't.
As the Group moves its headquarters to Bay City, Caleb faces trouble on every side. Angry shareholders turn on one of his boldest decisions. A family loss brings grief and grasping relatives in equal measure. Snobbish kin look down on his daughters, and suitors line up for his sister-in-law with their eyes on the Walker fortune.
Then Caleb sees the next great opportunity: steam, iron and a carriage that needs no horse. It will take every dollar he has, and every roll of the Golden Ledger, to make it real.
