Edge of the Frontier Christopher Ledford

In this weird western tale, the priestess Red has an unconventional way of raising money for the church; she is a bounty hunter. After an ally's death, the group falls vulnerable to retaliation, which forces Red to carry out her own form of justice. Seeking new work as a mercenary for hire, Red meets the gunslinger Sara, who broke free of a troubled past and set out on the road to adventure. Although luck works against them, they manage to complete their first mission together, delivering an artifact to the mayor of Metaline. However, their work is far from over, the mayor reports a vast unexplained disappearance at a nearby mining camp. Red and Sara seek the assistance of locals, a shotgun toting brute aptly named Ox and his partner Sweets, the practitioner of a dying arcane art. Together, they set out on a quest that leads them down an increasingly dim path. Along the way, they encounter the disease afflicted, bizarre creatures, and the very dead risen from the grave. All this and more culminates into the final battle with those behind the evil, on the outskirts of Tellarosa, a boomtown on the edge of the frontier.
