Blood Oath (No Man's Land Book One) - No Man's Land Luke Atkinson

Outlaw Calamity Cooper is caught up in a scheme fueled by humankind's greed. If wild monsters and outlaws don't kill him, the vampire he's hunting will. If you like The Witcher, The Dresden Files, and Red Dead Redemption, you'll feel right in the saddle in this supernatural spin on the Old West.

"Readers in either Urban Fantasy or Westerns will enjoy this unique story and the skillful way both the violence and magic snake through the book like a desert rattler." -- Wayne Trummel, Windy City Reviews

A monster hunter finds himself exiled in the paranormal plains of NO MAN'S LAND with nothing but his horse and revolver. This Weird West novel by Luke Atkinson weaves together fantasy and the classic Western into an exciting tall tale. Embrace the paranormal. Or hunt it.

Calamity Cooper is a wanted man. To avoid capture by the U. S. Cavalry, he exiles himself to No Man's Land, a lawless and untamed territory home to paranormal happenings.

As the age of gunslingers comes to an end, Cal refuses to adapt to quiet life in Hexed Springs, a sprawling boomtown of humans and supernatural beings. He works as a ranger-a monster hunter for hire-but finds the job far deadlier than he expected. An exposure to raw magical energy during a job gone awry awakens Cal's spell-slinging abilities, attracting unwanted attention from mortals and immortals alike.

Cal becomes a pawn in a scheme fueled by humankind's greed when a wealthy financier blackmails him into hunting a vampire, one that happens to be connected to a prominent family. Little does Cal know, but a blood feud is brewing in the shadows, one both ancient and modern, that threatens to destroy supernatural society.

Haunted by his past and conflicted with his identity, Cal must decide between saving his own skin or protecting supernatural civilization.
