Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

On the heels of the novel Weathervane comes the exciting sequel, continuing the tale of an ancient evil in the wilds of the west.Sunsetter joins the battle between the questionably good and the deceptions of an evil "as old as time itself. Imagine..."It begins at the beginning, where we find the child Francis suddenly thrust into a world of a mysterious ancient society - The Setters, they who guard the night.There Francis learns the ways of these guardians, and emerges into his dark world, as the man called Sunsetter, he who waits by day and hunts by night those fiends, Death Corrupted, an immortal plague on humanity.Join Francis Morgan Slayter, the young man, as he navigates a world of terrors unknown and an evil seen yet unseen, that haunts the brutal frontier of the Cascade Mountains.Spanning centuries, since the time of ice and snow, Sunsetter is an epic genre-bending journey, that like its predecessor, Weathervane, blurs the line between the hero and the villain, and touches upon theologies, mythologies, legends, love and loss, over eons of time.Sunsetter, in its telling as told by Francis himself, introduces a new origin story for the tale of the vampire, and the fallen angels who foolishly create the vessel, "the ark of the unholy covenant."Sunsetter, the novel, is a work of horror/western fiction. It is a fast-paced, immersive story that takes the reader on a thrilling adventure filled with twists and turns, both In plot and mood, skillfully set against the back-drop of a northwest winter in the range of the Cascades mountains, circa 1888, and the wildness of the west.So saddle up partners and get ready to ride into long shadows and every shifting shape that rules the dead of night.
