Possessed by a rogue divine entity called Genesis and armed with the Word of God, Jesse walks away from the pulpit and onto the open highway, determined to track down the runaway Creator and demand answers. At his side: Tulip O’Hare, the woman he broke and can’t stop loving, and Cassidy, a centuries-old vampire whose charm hides a long trail of bad decisions.Across small-town America, New York’s darkest corners, and the nightmare swamps of Jesse’s own family history, their journey collides with cults, secret societies, voodoo, and an unstoppable gunslinger from Hell.
