Synopsis

In an alternate nineteenth-century America powered by steam, magic, and iron, bounty hunter Cedar Hunt is haunted by both lycanthropy and the death of his brother. When he learns there may still be a chance to save his brother’s soul, Cedar embarks on a dangerous quest to locate the Holder—a legendary device forged by mad inventors and now controlled by an ancient and powerful Strange. Battling monsters, cursed magic, and ruthless enemies, Cedar must rely on grit, guns, and steam-powered ingenuity in a race against time.
