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.
