Set in a fractured United States, in the southwestern country now known as Texoma. A world where magic is acknowledged but mistrusted, especially by a young gunslinger named Lizbeth Rose. Battered by a run across the border to Mexico Lizbeth Rose takes a job offer from a pair of Russian wizards to be their local guide and gunnie. For the wizards, Gunnie Rose has already acquired a fearsome reputation and they’re at a desperate crossroad, even if they won’t admit it. They’re searching through the small border towns near Mexico, trying to locate a low-level magic practitioner, Oleg Karkarov. The wizards believe Oleg is a direct descendant of Grigori Rasputin, and that Oleg’s blood can save the young tsar’s life.

As the trio journey through an altered America, shattered into several countries by the assassination of Franklin Roosevelt and the Great Depression, they’re set on by enemies. It’s clear that a powerful force does not want them to succeed in their mission. Lizbeth Rose is a gunnie who has never failed a client, but her oath will test all of her skills and resolve to get them all out alive.

western dystopian

I enjoyed the voice actors and the story! unique twist by altering outcomes from history to create new "world" . . I was hesitant as I am not a "western" fan... however I was pleasantly surprised and captivated and entertained and now look forward to reading more in this series...

author has her unique style and creative stories... that captivated me to read the Sookie Stackhouse series and watch all of the TruBlood series... I enjoy her ability to portray various characters especially her descriptive ability to capture almost "realistic" and relatable "normal lives" "average people" ....

Great start to a new - to me - series

The rating is wonderful and engaging. The characters are interesting and the world building as well done.

Down and Dirty

Wild west all over again! A little mystery, a little sex a lot of violence. Great story.
More Charlaine three books ain't enough..

This is a different spin on the Russian royal family mixed with the Western feel I enjoyed with the Midnight Texas series

The voice acting is great and with the sound effects and vivid descriptions you “see” all the action. I can’t wait to listen to the rest of the series.

Great listen

What engaging entertainment if you don't mind a Western dystopia-type story with lots of shooting of guns and running from wizards. It fit the bill for me particularly because I listened with GraphicAudio's excellent production. As for Gunnie Rose - loved her character.
