On Neue Erde, magic and technology have learned to peacefully co-exist. Cultures great and small, with sources as numerous as the dimensions, interact, mingle, and grow. The inhabitants, meanwhile, take pride in the fact that they've managed to go over twenty years without settling an argument with nuclear or chemical weapons. Sunrise, the tide, and violence are all inevitable, from the nation-shattering invasions that occur every few decades to the occasional small police action or border dispute. Depending on your mindset, it can be an inescapable hell or your own private Valhalla. For Caroline Carver, it's leaning towards the former. Caroline made a mistake. She trusted the wrong group of people. She thought they were looking for an actress, they thought her intestines were the final touch their dark ritual was missing. While she managed to avoid being used as raw materials in an attempt to summon a demon, now she's stuck on Neue Erde, with no clear way back home. Even worse, she has a bull's-eye painted on her back. The demon she was supposed to be fed to hasn't forgotten her, and has come to see the young woman as their property. In the very short 'good news' column, she's not alone. Caroline lucked into the company of an eager young mage keen on burning down some bad guys and a masked gunfighter with an axe to grind against her would-be devourer. If she wants to avoid being a pawn in a monster's game, or spare parts, she's going to have to use every skill and asset at her disposal. She’s ready and willing to fight for her freedom, but will a pack of hired guns and a borrowed sub-machine gun be enough to keep a horde of fearless killing machines at bay?
