She finds like company in Flint "Buzz" MacAllister, who seeks to avenge the death of his family. The the two allies take on a crime family that took from each of them what was best and most beloved from them - Lady Jaye Hawke's voice, and Buzz MacAllister's wife and son in a brutal and bloody fashion.This vendetta will flood forth in rivers of blood. They not only have the right to avenge the crimes committed against them, they have the duty to do so.A kiss. A whispered word. A touch. Then a blade."Everything in this book is about the art; it's ephemeral and alive. The difference between typical revenge tales and this book is made crystal clear, because everything feels incredibly intimate. It feels like a western, willing to give long shots on a moment, and when things move, they do so with incredible swiftness, even thoughyou still feel locked in time through every awful (for the character) moment. There's not a lot of work out there that can make me lose a sense of time, that can draw me into such a tragic pace with such eloquence and convey such betrayal and loss in so short a space. This is the kind of work you can't rush through; it will give you its secrets on its terms in a very personal and lonely way.This is a great read for anyone who's a fan of atmospheric storytelling like 'Samurai Jack' or the light, but insistent, touch of 'Ori and the Blind Forest'. You won't be able to soon forget this book when you finish, that I promise you."- Fanboy Comics
