The Scarlet Star Trilogy mixes fantasy with the American frontier in three books: Bloodrush (2014), Bloodmoon (2015), and Bloodfeud (2016). The series is set in an alternate 1800s where magic exists alongside six-shooters, and the titles hint at the blood-soaked nature of the story.
Ben Galley uses the western setting to explore themes of power and corruption through a fantastical lens. The trilogy has a different tone from his other work, trading frozen landscapes for dusty frontier towns while keeping his signature dark edge. Readers looking for fantasy that breaks away from the usual medieval European settings will find the Scarlet Star books a refreshing change.
