It's a normal day at the Global Query--calls, calls, calls--from a housewife menaced by her appliances . . . a farmer with a volcano in his apple orchard . . . a man with snow geese in his toilet . . . and, of course, a guy talking to God through his TV. Typical. Until Savvy realizes that all the calls came from the same town in Illinois. .

The turning point of the Civil War had come when the bodies got up at Shiloh. Dangerous magic had risen on a flood of blood and violence, and it swept across the land, washing away all but the strong and the lucky. Unnatural powers had been loosed, and nothing would ever be the same again.
Towns out west were dying faster than mayflies in June. To survive the perils of the frontierbandits, hexes, marauders, and conjurations, folks needed a strong sheriff. And any lawman who expected to survive had better have a fast gun and a talent for magic.
Jake Bird wasn't aiming to pin any star to his chest. He had a talent, maybe a strong one. But before he could search out his future, he'd have to face his past--and stand up against the man who'd killed his father. That would mean a showdown against the most dangerous wielder of magic in all the West: General George Armstrong Custer!

AMERICA'S GREAT HOPE--AND GREATER TERROR

The end of the Civil War and the rise of magical talents had brought unheard-of dangers to the West. Signers and scribblers and chatterers called up nightmare conjurations more dreadful than those that already roamed the unsettled land. Even a bullet-stopping sheriff with as much talent as Jake Bird was hard-pressed to keep Medicine Rock going when towns from Canada to Mexico were being abandoned.

Unknown to the settlers, a greater calamity yet was stalking them. Using Buffalo Bill Cody as his agent, robber baron Jay Gould was laying tracks for America's first transcontinental railroad. Medicine Rock was chosen as the rail point where East would meet West. But the honor concealed catastrophe, for with his strange blue-green steel rails, Gould intended to rob the entire territory of its magic.

Bullets would fly, blood would flow, and Buffalo Bill, Sheriff Jake, and the mysterious Rainmaker would need all their skills to defeat America's most powerful evil . . .
