Two years after the Civil War, Pinkerton agent Ed Morrow has gone undercover with one of the Weird West's most dangerous outlaw gangs—led by "Reverend" Asher Rook, an ex-Confederate chaplain turned "hexslinger," and his lieutenant and lover, Chess Pargeter. Morrow's task is to gather intelligence to help Professor Joachim Asbury unlock the secrets of magic itself.

Magicians, cursed by their gift with a solitary and painful existence, have rarely played a prominent role in history. Rook, driven by desperation, plans to overturn the natural laws preventing hex cooperation and change the world—sealed by an unholy marriage oath with the goddess Ixchel, mother of all hanged men. He aims to resurrect her bloodthirsty pantheon through sacrifice, destruction, and apotheosis.

Caught between dead gods, monsters, magic, Rook’s witchery, and ruthless masters, Morrow's survival depends on Chess Pargeter, whose fate and the world's lie in the balance. Morrow and Chess must traverse hell itself to uncover the truth and face an impending doom.
