Red Dead Redemption meets The Witcher

Always. Shoot. First.

That’s what my dad always taught me. Always deliver. Trust no one. And put a bullet in them before they put one in you.
You don’t survive as a courier in the magic-blasted Badlands by being soft. Everyone wants your cargo. Everyone wants you dead. And even so I’ve got some peculiar immunity to magic, that doesn’t mean I can stop watching my back for even a second.

I’ve got some dangerous cargo to deliver. And Cataclysm damn me if I don’t get the job done. Even if the package could potentially tear the Badlands apart…

My name is Ryder Miles. Arcane Courier.

Courier is a short story set in the urban fantasy Katverse, alongside the Kat Drummond and Cindy Giles series. If you love dark westerns, post-apocalyptic fantasy and gritty antiheroes, you’ll love Ryder as he battles against brutal monsters, and the moral depravity of a world gone mad with magic.
