An Easy Death

Gunnie Lizbeth Rose has been hired by a pair of Russian sorcerers as both their local guide and muscle through the small towns of East Texas, as they search for a distant relative of an infamous sorcerer whose bloodline can help save their emperor-in-exile, while an ever-increasing number of assassins try to stop them.

After the assassination of FDR in the 1930s, the United States collapses and is picked off by the UK, Canada, Mexico, and Russia. In the southwestern states now known as Texoma, Lizbeth tries to piece together a life, running security on runs from Texoma across the border to Mexico, where work and prospects are stronger. When two Russian magicians come looking for a man named Alex Karkarov, they hire Lizbeth to find him or his family, but there are problems: the man they're looking for is dead, and he has a daughter they now need to find, as an ever-growing set of sorcerers and gunnies do not want them to succeed. It’s a good thing Lizbeth is a deadly gunfighter; too bad she hates sorcerers, even the ones she has to learn to rely on.
