A complete fantasy book. Technically ... a weird western. Gunslingers, hex witches, dogmen, minotaur, trains that run further than you can imagine ... Mikeos Jones is a gunslinger, faster than thinking, part of the gunlaw, a man who can seldom afford the luxury of looking past the end of any given day. Jenna Crossard is a hex-witch, but her ambitions are larger than spells and charms - the need to understand the world consumes her. They say the gunlaw keeps men safe from the endless horror of the sect, but to Jenna it's a cage and she wants out. If that means breaking open the world and killing a few gods ... so be it.

In the Iron Kingdoms, death can come in many forms. By far the most terrifying is through the blood magics of the Orgoth, terrible sorcery that haunts the lands long after the warcasters and their colossals threw off the shackles of the slavers. The detectives of the Strangelight Workshop are dedicated to researching the arcane enigmas that shadow the world in the aftermath; but one among them though is not content to merely document the horrors, and feels compelled to fight against it. Accompanied by his trusted Ogrun servant, Orsch, Jonathon will uncover the darkest secrets of the Iron Kingdoms . . . and pray that he is not counted among them.
