A Book of Tongues - The Hexslinger

A Book of Tongues - The Hexslinger
A Book of Tongues - The Hexslinger

Weird West adventure, hexes, love, and betrayals.

If you're all about embracing a gritty fantasy set in a post-Civil War Western backdrop, infused with dark magic and complex relationships, "A Book of Tongues" might just draw you in. This isn't your typical Western tale; it's one where Gemma Files weaves a narrative with a supernatural twist – hexslingers, gods, and monsters abound. Let the intense love story of Asher Rook and Chess Pargeter, layered with betrayal and enigmatic powers, transport you to a world where the lines between good, evil, and the arcane blur intriguingly.

  • Gaylactic Spectrum Award Nominee for Best Novel (2011)
