Magic is dead. Crime isn't.
The Magic dried up, the kingdom went to hell, and now the last of the bloody royals is in the ground. It's an unfriendly world, especially for a pair of lowlife thieves like Duke and Rinehart.Fortunately, their latest job is simple enough: find the runaway sister of a wealthy nobleman and drag her home. But when the girl hightails it into Mudweed — wild country filled with vicious bandits, backwoods cultists, and broken-down ruins leaking sour Magic — Duke and Rinehart get more than they bargained for.With a legendary score in their sights, they’ll fight tooth and nail (and pistol and sword) to get rich or die trying.
Down in the Dirt kicks off a rough-and-rowdy new series where money talks and blood runs cheap. Featuring:
A vibrant cast of antiheroes out for themselves.
Pistols, trains, and telegrams in a grim, 19th century-inspired setting.
A low-Magic world where the arcane forces are mysterious, rare, and very dangerous.
Fun and witty dialogue peppered with bursts of bloody violence.
For fans of Joe Abercrombie, Scott Lynch, and Nicholas Eames.
