The Son

The Son follows the rise of the McCullough family in Texas, beginning with Eli McCullough, who is kidnapped by Comanches as a boy and grows up to become a ruthless oil tycoon. Spanning over a century, the narrative shifts between Eli, his son Peter, and his great-granddaughter Jeannie, exploring the brutal cost of building an empire on the frontier. It is a stark examination of power, land, and the violent legacy left behind by those who claim it.
