“Immersive, involving, suspenseful, and intriguing, with a main
character you’ll love.” —Lee Child, #1 internationally bestselling
author of the Jack Reacher novels “When a master of her craft offers to tell you a story, let her. The results are dazzling.” —Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author of the Alex, Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Award-winning Wayward Children series. The beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse series, the inspiration for HBO’s True Blood, and the Midnight Crossroad trilogy adapted for NBC’s Midnight, Texas, has written a taut new thriller—the first in the Gunnie Rose series—centered on a young gunslinging mercenary, Lizbeth Rose. Set
in a fractured United States, in the southwestern country now known as
Texoma. A world where magic is acknowledged but mistrusted, especially
by a young gunslinger named Lizbeth Rose. Battered by a run across the
border to Mexico Lizbeth Rose takes a job offer from a pair of Russian
wizards to be their local guide and gunnie. For the wizards, Gunnie Rose
has already acquired a fearsome reputation and they’re at a desperate
crossroad, even if they won’t admit it. They’re searching through the
small border towns near Mexico, trying to locate a low-level magic
practitioner, Oleg Karkarov. The wizards believe Oleg is a direct
descendant of Grigori Rasputin, and that Oleg’s blood can save the young
tsar’s life. As the trio journey through an altered America,
shattered into several countries by the assassination of Franklin
Roosevelt and the Great Depression, they’re set on by enemies. It’s
clear that a powerful force does not want them to succeed in their
mission. Lizbeth Rose is a gunnie who has never failed a client, but her
oath will test all of her skills and resolve to get them all out alive.
