MARCUS BARBER IS AN IMMORTAL BOUNTY HUNTER WORKING FOR THE DEITIES OF THE ANCIENT WORLD.

HE WAKES UP IN THE MORGUE AFTER FAILING TO RESCUE A RUNAWAY TEEN AND DISCOVERS THE MACHINATIONS OF A TRICKSTER ANCIENT.

Marcus must get back on the trail of a runaway teen girl before something horrific happens to her.

Unfortunately for Marcus, he's in the throes of his post-death recovery and doesn't have the strength to put on his pants, let alone track down the girl.

He has also missed a deadline for a harsh Ancient who doesn't handle failure very well. This sets him on a tight timetable to find a missing servant before the Ancient claims Marcus for herself.
