Rain Baron

Philip was born to rule the rails-until the mighty Baltimore & Ohio Railroad died with his father. Or so he thought. When a freak twist of fate hurls him into a ghost-ridden world of rust, steam, and shadows, Philip finds the B&O isn't just salvageable-it's cursed. And something monstrous is riding the rails, dragging the past with it.

To survive, he must uncover a terrible family secret, outwit a rival baron with bleak ambitions, and win the trust of unlikely allies: descendants of railroad workers and the enigmatic, deadly Yegg King. His only chance at redemption? Rebuild the rail barony-or be chained to the Midnight Express straight to hell.

Welcome to Hobohemia, where steam children whisper to iron giants, the romance of the rails never died... and some things refuse to stay buried.
