[Progression Weird Western] Samuel used to think life was boring—so boring that it wasn't even worth trying to change it. Everything changed when he was kidnapped by a mysterious cult and offered as a sacrifice to a demon. He thought that was the end of his story. Somehow, it wasn't. He survived, but in another world and another body. Upon a bloodstained stone altar, he awakened as Bonnie Jones, a defenseless young woman in a grim steampunk world of cowboys, mysteries, and supernatural horrors that prey upon the weak. What awaits Samuel, now trapped in Bonnie's body, in this dangerous land? The law is fragile. The supernatural lurks around every corner. And the powers known as the Ballads of the Desert have become the most coveted treasures among the few who know of their existence. This is her legend... *** What can you expect from this novel? Mystery and more mystery. Mystery is the central axis of the story — but what is mystery without a world and characters to complement it? Beyond that, the supernatural is one of the main pillars of the story. Things like cowboys with strange powers, witches who can read the future, monstrous steam-powered machines in gigantic cities, folkloric mysteries tied to the natives, entities beyond human comprehension in pure Lovecraftian fashion, powers obtained through rituals and black magic, living legends of immeasurable power, and forgotten ancient gods. The cherry on top is the romance. While it won't dominate the story, there will be a little of it here. However, this is also a dark dramatic tale set in an alternate Old West — so anything can happen. Are you ready for what's to come?
