Publisher's Synopsis
In the fantasy western world of Westhold, First-year Alathanian Marshal Jeremiah Blade sets out across the badlands of the Shattered Hills to the dusty frontier town of Dryftwood. Marshal Blade is coming to this lonely outpost of civilization to round up arcane criminals flouting Alathane's magical Duskstone regulations. The marshal has his work cut out for him--Dryftwood is a rough place filled with dangerous outlaws, ornery mayors, and raging dust storms. Jeremiah will soon realize that it is going to take a lot more than words to bring to heel a land that has no intention of being tamed.
