Blood Oath (No Man's Land Book One) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578309057)

"If the premise of Geralt from The Witcher becoming a renegade outlaw in the Wild West and chasing down monsters sounds good, then Blood Oath by Luke Atkinson is a book you'll want to read. Funny, smart, picturesque, and touching, Luke Atkinson has crafted a perfect mashup of low fantasy and westerns." -- Charlotte Zang, Reedsy Discovery

In the sprawling, lawless terrain of No Man's Land, a gripping tale unfolds-an epic fusion of Wild West grit and Fantasy intrigue.

Calamity Cooper is a man on the run, evading the relentless pursuit of the U.S. Cavalry. Seeking a pardon for his criminal past, he enlisted, only to become a witness to a brutal purge of supernatural beings. His rebellion sparked a deadly rift, fueled by guilt and an unwavering sense of morality.

Cal soon finds himself adrift in Hexed Springs, a sprawling boomtown perched at the crossroads of the mundane and the extraordinary. Here, trust is scarce, especially for a former outlaw, and supernatural refugees view his monster-hunting prowess with suspicion.

But as the world shifts, so does Cal's destiny. A chance encounter with the enigmatic raw mana, an ethereal wellspring of power beneath Hexed Springs, bestows upon him arcane abilities. His identity blurs between being a mortal man and a paranormal being, and lines between right and wrong are as elusive as shadows in the dark.

The stakes soar when an ambitious human financier leverages Cal's newfound powers to ensnare him in a treacherous plot. Blackmailed into hunting a formidable vampire, Cal becomes a pawn in a deadly game. Time ticks away, and the clash between mortals and immortals, driven by insatiable greed, threatens to ignite No Man's Land in an inferno of chaos.

"Blood Oath" is an epic odyssey of transformation, where two worlds collide in a gripping showdown. It's a mesmerizing fusion of tall tales, frontier justice, and fantasy quests. If you yearn for an extraordinary adventure, rich in magic and suspense, this is a journey you won't want to miss.

Read the paranormal fantasy adventure reviewers are calling "The Witcher of the Wild West." If you like The Witcher, The Dresden Files, or Red Dead Redemption, you'll feel right in the saddle in this supernatural spin on the Old West.
