Savannah is an odd combination of bounty hunter and librarian. Her latest mission is to hunt down the recent killer of a master by his apprentice. She follows him up into the mountains and encounters a “diabolist” who had kidnapped the suspected killer. Things go a little sideways and things are revealed.
If you appreciate stories that are about more than they seem at first, you might appreciate this one. It ends up covering some difficult subjects like abuse. The prose is thoughtful and a bit contemplative as Savannah explores why she is doing what she is doing. Overall it provides an interesting tale told about characters that the reader comes to care for very quickly in this fairly short read.
