A 2014 novel by Rachel Manija Brown and Sherwood Smith. The book centres around a futuristic Weird West town and five young adults who inhabit it as they carve out their own lives amidst grown-up politics and the ever-present threat of a self-proclaimed king who's taking over the western USA.Each of the five viewpoint characters brings a different perspective and something new into the town and it's not uncommon for them all to end up at odds, developing the story. It opens with Ross, the titular stranger outside the walled city, who makes a daring escape from one of King Voske's bounty hunters after running away with a mysterious book written entirely in Japanese, even though he can't even read English. He's brought into the city and taken in by Mia, the youngest mechanic in the town's history, a certified genius but questioning who she really is. Rounding out the five are Yuki, a prince from far away who wants to return or at least adventure away from Las Anclas, Jennie, a young teacher and apprentice Ranger who balances work worries with relationship problems, and Felicité, the ambitious daughter of two of the most powerful people in the town.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The early struggle in the book is over whether Ross should be allowed to stay in the town and whether he even wants to, and halfway through the book, Voske's hunters show up and threaten his new life and how the whole town had dealt with life up until then... | |

Ambiguously Brown: Ross, considering that his whole background is mysterious. Other characters' ethnicities are stated or implied. It turns out that he's Native American, though he barely remembers his own heritage because he was taken away so young. | |

Ambition Is Evil | |
| Stranger / int_9e1e14ea | comment |
Ambition Is Evil: Felicité is by far the least sympathetic viewpoint character. Her ambition to repeat her parents' success encompasses her whole life and just about everything she does is a calculated move to make everybody love her and believe what she has to say. | |
