Wild West chase meets supernatural mystery in this brilliant new adventure from the multi-award-winning author of Stitch and The Monsters of Rookhaven. Nathan Quixby is a con artist, selling fake miracle cures to anyone foolish enough to buy them. Jess Crowe was born into a family of soul-eaters, and the hunger is starting to wake up inside her. When their paths collide, Nathan strikes what seems like a straightforward deal: help Jess find a cure before her darkness takes hold, get paid handsomely, walk away. Except nothing about Jess is simple, and Nathan might be a worse liar than he thinks – especially when it comes to lying to himself. Frontier meets fantasy at The Edge of the Wild – perfect for fans of Wildlands, Dracula & Daughters and Midnight Treasure.
