'My name's Keith Murphy. I specialise in killing things from the Gloom who deserve a few bullets in the head. I'm not a sorcerer, but I worked for one, a guy named Danny Roark who saw me on a bad path and gave me an alternative. For sixteen years, we'd worked together; a two-man unit, the best of the best. Roark did the magic and I handled the guns.
'We just did a job. It’s gone sour and now I’m running. Running doesn’t bother me. Running's a survival trait. What bothers me is the nine multimeter bullet I swallowed, the one with the soul of my last victim trapped inside it. He was the leader of a cult of bloodthirsty monsters.
'His followers want his soul back and I’m their only lead.'

'My name is Keith Murphy. I used to specialize in killing things—dark things that don’t have a good reason for being on this side of the Gloom—with my partner Danny Roark. I had a run of bad luck and now I’m working for a demon named Sabbath. I guess I should call myself lucky; I’m little more than one of his thugs, except I still have my soul intact.
'Sabbath’s been expanding his territory but he’s run into a hiccup. There’s something out there hunting people in the know. It’s big, dangerous, and hungry. Running’s not an option this time—not once this thing has gotten the scent of its prey. I’ve got to convince friends and enemies to work together to stop it.
'The end of the world is still coming, but it’s got to kill me first.'

'My name's Keith Murphy. For nearly two decades, my partner, Danny Roark, and I hunted down the dark things that prey on normal humans. But, on what we thought was a routine job, something went wrong. Now the end of the world is coming at us like a freight train on steroids.
'When Danny goes down, it's me who has to figure out what those fools left over from the Raven cult have planned. It's a puzzle I've got to figure out before those doors open wider and real monsters—ones that my rag-tag, mostly demon, army can't handle—come through.
'Roark was the one who knew about all this magic and end or the world stuff, not me. I guess I'll figured it out as I go.'

'Keith Murphy’s doesn’t understand professional wrestling, and he doesn’t care to try. But when paying back a debt means figuring out how a demon is feeding on the crowds at the local indie show, the hitman-turned-mage finds himself up against a creature far more powerful than he expected.
'With the aide of a conflicted academic and his new partner, Holly Langford, Keith must set aside his guns and climb into the ring to become the hero his city needs once more.'
