Former slave Ezra has escaped servitude with a damaged gun and the memories of the priest who bore it. Pursued by the ghosts of his past, he reluctantly embarks on a quest to find a wardsmith who can repair the cursed weapon before it damages the land Ezra is trying to save. Can Ezra survive gunfights, betrayals, and the machinations of an old foe, or will the journey leave him as broken as his gun?
