Poker players and prostitutes scramble as the loner saunters in, steely eyes prepping for a showdown. ©2017 Dean F.A figure silhouetted in a hat and dusty jacket bursts into a bar.
Tasked with finding out who’s framed him, Nox must also survive the constant onslaught of frontier law. He isn’t the only bounty hunter out there. No sooner does he try to find the real killers than posters go up across the Wild North - posters with his face and his name. His pleas of innocence fall on deaf ears. Many would happily see the tables turned. The clues point to him, and he’s made a lot of enemies over the years. He didn’t do it, but that doesn’t matter. While searching for a criminal, the fabled Coilhunter wanders into a tribal village massacre.
Nox is used to being called the Coilhunter, but this time, he’s saddling up with a new, more fitting title: the Rustkiller. That land is where the rust-covered Clockwork Commune live, and if they don’t scavenge the metal off you, they’ll scavenge the flesh instead. He decks himself out in his finest armor. Yet when a couple of kids end up wandering inside that metal maze, he finds himself with no other choice. The bounty hunter Nox made a promise to himself he’d never be caught dead there. One of them is that scrapyard desert known as the Rust Valley. The Wild North is full of nasty places, but there are some places you just don’t go. If the land doesn't get you, the Coilhunter will. So, welcome, fair folk, to the Wild North.
Plagued by nightmares, he's made himself into a living one, the kind the criminals and con men fear. The trail has long gone cold, but there are changes happening, the kind of changes that uncover footprints and spent bullet casings.
He's in it for justice, and there's a lot of justice that needs to be paid.īetween each kill, he's looking for someone who has kept out of his cross hairs for quite a while - the person who murdered his wife and children. A mechanic and toymaker by trade, a bounty hunter by circumstance. Welcome to the Wild North, a desolate wasteland where criminals go to hide - if they can outlast the drought and the dangers of the desert. 2019 Independent Audiobook Award Winner for Contemporary Fantasy
