Death is only the beginning…

Hunter Grail, known to dime-novel fans as Death Fist, was once the deadliest prizefighter in the Wild West. Haunted by a tragic past and driven to the brink of suicide, his life seems over—until a desperate telegram from his estranged father drags him back into a hell of blood and darkness... and maybe redemption.

Returning home, Hunter finds his father mutilated and his sister, Anne, betrothed to the terrifying Jeb Jackson—a man shaped by the infamous Donner Party and corrupted by a sinister force called The Dark. Left for dead after a brutal confrontation, Hunter is resurrected by a teenage Bill Cody, who has been trained in the ways of Skinwalker magic.

Joined by a Ute warrior and a shotgun-wielding priest, Hunter must confront his past, master dangerous new abilities, and face a cult driven by cannibalistic rituals—all to save Anne, redeem himself, and restore balance to a world teetering on the edge of damnation.
