In the desolate wasteland where gods once bled and their colossal skeletons now cradle civilization, a figure strides with the weight of prophecy upon him. Buck Dawson, feared gunslinger of unparalleled skill, carries the mark of Hastur, the enigmatic Elder God known as the King in Yellow. His path converges with the cursed town of Wrathrun, its buildings woven from the very bones of a fallen deity. Drawn by whispers of a high bounty on a notorious outlaw, Buck Dawson descends upon Wrathrun, a forsaken place where shadows writhe and despair festers like a disease. His reputation precedes him, whispered in hushed tones as both a savior and a harbinger of doom. Yet amidst the decay and the stench of ancient rot, fate intervenes in the form of Autumn—a street-smart orphan with a spirit unbroken by the town’s malevolent aura. Reluctant at first to take on a companion, Buck Dawson recognizes a flicker of his own past in Autumn's fierce determination to survive. As teacher and protégé, they navigate the labyrinthine streets of Wrathrun, where every corner holds a secret and every soul carries a burden darker than the next. Together, they unravel the town’s twisted history and its ties to Hastur, whose eldritch presence looms over them like a specter. But in this world, nothing comes without a price. As their partnership deepens, they unearth truths that threaten to shatter their very understanding of reality. The line between ally and enemy blurs, and they must confront not only external foes but also the darkness within themselves. For Buck Dawson, haunted by his connection to Hastur, must decide whether Autumn is his redemption or his downfall in a world where survival demands more than just skill—it demands sacrifice. Where gods lie dead and forgotten, Buck Dawson and Autumn forge a bond amidst the ruins, defying the inevitability of decay with every bullet fired and every secret unearthed. Together, they will either prevail beyond the world's dark mysteries, or be consumed by them, leaving behind a legacy as ephemeral as the fading light in a world where shadows reign supreme.
