She is Hettie Alabama—unlikely, scarred, single-minded, and blood bound to a revolver inhabited by a demon. The first book in an epic, magic-clad series featuring the Wild West reimagined as a crosscultural stereoscope of interdimensional magic and hardship, The Devil’s Revolver opens with a shooting competition and takes off across the landscape after a brutal double murder and kidnapping—to which revenge is the only answer. Hettie Alabama, only seventeen years old, leads her crew of underdogs with her father’s cursed revolver, magicked to take a year off her life each time she fires it. It’s no way for a ranch girl to grow up, but grow up she does, her scars and determination to rescue her vulnerable younger sister deepening with every year of life she loses. A sweeping and high-stakes saga that gilds familiar Western adventure with powerful magic and panoramic fantasy, The Devil’s Revolver is the last word and the blackest hat in the Weird West. This four-book fantasy Western series features a diverse cast, a hard-bitten female protagonist, and explores history and themes from turn-of-the-century America. Best adapted as a 4-5 season TV series, 10-12 episodes per season. “The feminist western you’ve been waiting for: The Devil’s Revolver has heart and grit. A terrific genre-crossing tale with a deft touch of the macabre.” —Donna Thorland, writer on the Netflix series The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina www.devilsrevolver.com
