Elemental Gunslinger, Book 1: Flamespitter

By Jonathan Smidt

Synopsis

A gunslinger with four affinities is a myth.It’s a tall tale told in frontier saloons one drink before closing and around campfires in the dead of night. For the heroes and villains of those stories, that impossible power is a boon. A gift.

For Mr. Jones, it’s a curse.

That’s not his real name though. He’s had a few.

Changing names comes with the territory when you possess a power that every outlaw — and lawman — would kill to get their hands on. To survive, Mr. Jones keeps his head down, kills when he must, and never stays in one place too long. It’s a life of rules and hard lessons. Habits that were drilled into him from a young age, when his parents were murdered because of his ‘gift.’

After that, the trail of bodies just got longer and longer.

But all that is about to change. After years of chasing two-bit bounties, honing his skills, and growing his core, he’s finally caught the scent of the man he’s been searching for — the first of four bodies that will end this carnage once and for all.

Now it’s time to put his cursed powers to use.

It’s time for revenge.
