The Devils Standoff

Welcome to the birthplace of the Devil's Revolver, where untold danger lurks for Hettie Alabama and her companions… The second book in the epic, magic-clad Devil's Revolver series follows Hettie and her sister south of the Wall into Mexico, where they must unmake Hettie's infernal mage gun while confronting a magic- and land-hungry army and a monster from hell drawn to the powers of the weapon. Hettie wants nothing more than to break her bond to the cursed Devil's Revolver and find a way to keep her sister safe - but Abby's indigo powers are growing stronger, and in the gated, walled village where they take refuge, nothing is exactly as it seems. Pursued by the Pinkertons, left without allies or guardians, Hettie has to rely on her own grit and determination to do the right thing, no matter the cost. This second installment of V. S. McGrath's sweeping and high-stakes saga draws its truly unforgettable gunslinger heroine to her limits and ends with a satisfying bang. Praise for The Devil's Revolver "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, author of The Turncoat, writer on the TV series Salem and the upcoming Netflix series Sabrina "A fantastically readable female-focused story . . . A really terrific riff on the Western, told with huge verve." -KJ Charles, author of the Charm of Magpies series
