It starts with a grave robbed in grief. It ends with a reckoning that leaves the frontier burning.
Jasper Daniels was supposed to be done with her past as "The Web," the frontier’s most feared tracker of souls. Then her outlaw gang tracks her down, burns her home, and brutally murders her husband. They leave Jasper for dead with her hands permanently mangled.
To hunt down her former sisters-in-arms, Jasper must do the unthinkable: dig up her husband’s grave and grind his bones into the magical bullets required to fuel her enchanted revolvers. But every pull of the trigger is an agonizing trial for her ruined hands, and every bullet spent means a piece of the man she loved is gone forever.
Her solitary path to damnation shatters when she crosses paths with Little Bird, an orphaned girl fleeing the exact same cycle of violence. With her hands failing her, Jasper must teach the child how to survive the blood-soaked frontier—and decide how much of her own remaining soul she is willing to grind away to save the girl she has come to love.
The Vengeance of Jasper Daniels is a gritty, atmospheric weird western fantasy perfect for fans of Joe Abercrombie's Red Country and Stephen King’s The Dark Tower.
