A Touch of Dead

Lisbet Rose is a mercenary with an iron reputation. Those who hire her and her partner-gunners for protection know that their safety has been paid for reliably. The truth is that in places where ordinary laws are powerless, such protection costs especially dearly.

But after another job everything falls apart: Lisbet is left as the only one to survive. Without a team, without money, and without work, she is forced to accept an offer from Ilya and Polina—two Russian sorcerers who need to find the man whose blood can save their Tsar. A man who turns out to be a direct descendant of Grigory Rasputin.

Rose agrees to escort the sorcerers along a dangerous journey through what remains of the United States. She can’t stand magicians, but she’s used to seeing a contract through and protecting clients at any cost—even if they “forgot” to mention that someone is already on their trail.

A dynamic story by the author of the bestselling series “Sookie Stackhouse.”
An exciting western packed with magic and gunfights.
The events of the book take place in an alternate world where the Romanovs’ family survived and founded a new state, and the United States split into several countries.
