WARLOCK OF THE WEST

Gil Vicious, a notorious outlaw warlock living on the outskirts of Town with his gang, is forging a plan to steal water magic from a stonemaker witch to see his lawless family through the wicked drought that plagues all of Ravine. Wylah Hæotana, daughter of the chieftain warlock of the prairiepeople, keeps a captivated eye on life outside her tiny world. But the weight of her people’s lives rests on her shoulders while they wait for her to become the next stonemaker—the rarest of witches and the only one who can conjure the water they need to survive.

When Wylah encounters Gil in Town and they're caught together during a shootout with a vagrant warlock gang, they'll burn through a mutual animosity before overcoming judgment and finding themselves hopelessly enamored with one another. Star-crossed lovers from opposite sides of the track, Wylah and Gil will struggle with their illicit romance as the graveyards swell and the territories across Ravine are gripped with unrest. When Gil is mistakenly blamed for the shootout and death breaches his doorstep, their love will be put to the test, as everyone from lawmen to the prairiepeople to the Vicious gang square off to tear them apart.

WARLOCK OF THE WEST is a dark romantasy set in a fantastical wild west, where spellbound shootouts and the bitter struggles of an ongoing drought are pitted against an unyielding love that rivals the bounds of fate. Rachel Gillig’s atmospheric prose in One Dark Window meets Megan Bannen’s western fantasy, The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy, in a magically dark frontier setting.
