He is a dedicated and brave soldier—until news reaches him that his family, including his new wife, has been murdered by marauding Blue Coats. Rage takes over; as Virgil becomes a murderer, the man he once was disappears.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eHe becomes “The Rider,” a vengeful, ghostly foe. Justice is decided by his hand, and he kills those he believes deserve to die. After killing four men who were abusing a whore, the Rider survives a terrible blizzard, only to end up in a town called Witchita. With his only companion—his horse, Gabriel—the Rider finds himself in a very strange place.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe “witch” in Witchita refers to Mesmerala, a powerful sorceress who runs things with the power of magic. It’s not magic that breaks through the Rider’s heart of steel, though; it’s a gun-toting honey named Pistol Ann. Rider comes to realize he’s in Witchita for a reason. His bloodlust can serve a purpose, but will he ever find his way home again?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iUniverse, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130661388528,"sku":"9781475995039","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781475995039_p0.jpg?v=1763607787","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781475995039","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
