Braun McCleary has the opportunity to become an all-seeing, all-knowing monster of a human being. The catch is, he can only become this through feeding from, and instigating, the deterioration of others. The American Old West was tough enough for many and Braun is left with sheer torment. An anguish that only becomes more agonising when he finds true love. His power quickly spirals out of control and takes him places that terrify him.
Can the human spirit prevail?
Can love overcome malevolence?
Or will the darkness consume him?

    "Are you mad there was a school shooting," said Midnight looking slightly greenish. 
    "No I just got here," said the policeman, "is anyone else here?" 
    "Dante, and Dark Starlight," said Midnight offhandedly. 
    "Don't you mean Dark Star?" said the policeman. 
    "No Starlight she's Dante's wife the Marchioness of Mars,"
