Search Worlds Without End

1870. A haven for the blessed and the damned, including a fallen angel, a mad scientist, a pirate queen, and a deputy who is kin to coyotes, Golgotha has come through many nightmarish trials, but now an army of thirty-two outlaws, lunatics, serial killers, and cannibals are converging on the town, drawn by a grisly relic that dates back to the Donner Party... and the dawn of humanity.

Sheriff Jon Highfather and his deputies already have their hands full dealing with train robbers, a mysterious series of brutal murders, and the usual outbreaks of weirdness. But with thirty-two of the most vicious killers on Earth riding into Golgotha in just a few day's time, the town and its people will be tested as never before--and some of them will never be the same.

They are "The Arcana." Collectively, they are the ultimate symbols of cosmic power. Millennia ago they were the treasures of the gods of creation, honored and cherished in four great cities since swept away by the rivers of time. The Spear of Light came from Gorias. The city of Falias contained The Stone of Destiny. From Murias came The Cup of Blood. The Sword of Flame was enshrined within Findias.

He is Silverhand, who was foretold, destined to save the world from Chaos and restore it to the statetht now lingers on only in dreams and pangs of secret human desire. To do so he needs the Arcana: The spear of Light, The Stone of Destiny, The Cup of Blod, and The Sword of Flame. Once the treasures of the gods of creation, they have been eons lost to both gods adn men. Properly used, they can defeat the rising tide of evil that is sweeping the world. But if Silverhand fails to find them or uses them ill, or they fall into the hands of his enemies, the world will be plunged into an eternal nightmare of suffering and death.
