True Grit meets True Blood in this delightfully dark and
fantastical Western perfect for fans of Gail Carriger,
Cassandra Clare, and Holly Black. This thrilling novel is a
remarkable tale of danger and discovery, from debut author
Michelle Modesto. The two-bit town of Rogue City is a lawless place, full of
dark magic and saloon brawls, monsters and six-shooters. But
it’s just perfect for seventeen-year-old Westie, the
notorious adopted daughter of local inventor Nigel Butler. Westie was only a child when she lost her arm and her family
to cannibals on the wagon trail. Seven years later, Westie
may seem fearsome with her foul-mouthed tough exterior and
the powerful mechanical arm built for her by Nigel, but the
memory of her past still haunts her. She’s determined to
make the killers pay for their crimes—and there’s nothing to
stop her except her own reckless ways. But Westie’s search ceases when a wealthy family comes to
town looking to invest in Nigel’s latest invention, a
machine that can harvest magic from gold—which Rogue City
desperately needs as the magic wards that surround the city
start to fail. There’s only one problem: the investors look
exactly like the family who murdered Westie’s kin. With the
help of Nigel’s handsome but scarred young assistant,
Alistair, Westie sets out to prove their guilt. But if she’s
not careful, her desire for revenge could cost her the
family she has now.
