"C.S. Humble's Peregrine Estate trilogy offers three beautifully written, absorbing tales of the Weird West, full of heart and teeth. San Antonion Mission is a searing novella populated by vivid characters and shocking moments of carnage that packs a serious punch in its brevity." -Jo Kaplan, author of When the Night Bells Ring
Gilbert Ptolemy - a freed slave turned monster bounty hunter - is sent by the Peregrine Estate to recruit a group of recently emancipated cattle hands, freed in the wake of Granger's Emancipation Enforcement on June 19, 1865. Joined by fellow agent Sarah Lockhart and fame-seeking gunhand Oliver Maine, Gilbert knows the work will be hard - but nothing could prepare him for what they find.
Inside a mission in San Antonio, Sarah and Gilbert discover the depth of human horror - an act of cruelty that demands vengeance. Bound by grief and fury, Gilbert and Sarah set out to hunt down those responsible, their path marked by bloodshed and a love neither of them expected.
San Antonio Mission is a novella brimming with heart and vengeance. The second book in the Peregrine Estate Trilogy, a tale of violence, raw emotion, and the impossible love that blooms in its wake.
