A spell. A shot. A reckoning.
In the lawless edge of the Dustwater Territories, justice is as scarce as rain-and twice as deadly. Ted Hartwell once was a criminal, but after a life changing run in with the law, he vanished into the desert and was never seen again.
Until now.
By moonlight, a masked rider stalks the wicked. His bullets burn with arcane fire. His face-what little is seen-twists with ghostly rage. He is The Judge, a gunslinger cursed with power, riding not for glory or gold, but vengeance and redemption.
By day, he's Ted Hartwell, a quiet cattle baron with a haunted past. By night, he dons a spectral visage and delivers justice with spell-forged bullets and arcane grit. Armed with enchanted ammunition and a revolver forged in secret rites, The Judge walks the line between man and myth.
When a trail of mutilated corpses leads to the warlock Malachai Brand, a former brother-in-arms turned killer, Ted is forced to confront the demons of his past-both literal and personal. With allies few and enemies gathering, he must unlock a forbidden magic known as the Devil's Round before Malachai tears the veil between worlds wide open.
The west has never seen justice like this.
