Mary Catherine "Mick" Kelly McClellan, swore off bad magic a decade ago... MostlyNow widowed in 1880, this former supernatural Pinkerton is scraping by on a dusty homestead in Trinidad, Colorado. But her pigs are mysteriously dying, her money's run dry, and she's desperate. So when a rookie agent from the Bureau of Magical Investigations shows up promising cash in exchange for exposing supernatural wrongdoings in Las Vegas, New Mexico, Mick's tempted-by the money, and maybe by a shot at redemption.
But Las Vegas is a town on the edge-women are dying, their magic stripped. Someone's playing a long, dark game, reeking of bad magic that could devour the entire West. And when Mick starts asking questions, her blood-soaked past comes calling. To stop it, she'll have to face the consequences of her violent history-and the power she promised never to use again. A great read for fans of Red Rabbit, the Gunnie Rose series, or Netflix's Godless. Ride with Mick Kelly-a complicated woman with a violent past and dangerous magic-into a dark historical fantasy steeped in arcane power and haunted Americana, where the dead don't rest and magic always collects its due.
