The Hexslinger Series - Book 2
A Rope of Thorns
“Gemma Files has one of the great dark imaginations in fiction―visionary, transgressive, and totally original.”
Jeff VanderMeer, New York Times bestselling author
Welcome to Hex City. Population: magicians.
Thanks to hexslinger "Reverend" Asher Rook, sorcerers now have a sanctuary where they can live and work in peace. But a storm is coming-a tempest known as Chess Pargeter.
Infuriated by his former lover Rook's betrayal and sacrificed in the name of the Mayan goddess who is Rook's current consort, Chess leaves a trail of death and destruction in his wake. Caught up in Chess's crusade are Pinkerton-agent-turned-outlaw Ed Morrow and a young woman spiritualist.
But there are more than Chess's own demons to be reckoned with, including a resurrected lawman with a bone to pick-and a final judgment to deliver.
