by Laura Anne Gilman (Author)
Most folk in the Territory never think about the magic around them. They've never encountered a magician, fought a spell-beast, or bargained with the devil.
Gabriel Kasun is not most folk.
A year spent mentoring Isobel Lacoyo T vora, the Devil's Left Hand, brought him closer to the Territory's magic than he'd ever wanted. But now Gabriel is on his own again, free of all obligation.
Except the Territory - and his own destiny - isn't quite done with him yet.
A brand-new novella set in the award-winning world of The Devil's West
"Wonderful and beautifully written...Fate creeps up on Gabriel with the inexorability of the rising tide in this insightful, character-driven addition to Gilman's Devil's West series. Old readers will be delighted with the revelation of hinted-at secrets, and new readers will be intrigued and want more."
- C.E. Murphy, author of THE WALKER PAPERS and REDEEMER
