Three centuries after the world was broken, Jon Shannow travels through a harsh frontier of isolated towns, brigands and religious violence. Known as the Jerusalem Man, he searches for a city that may exist only in faith while trying to control the lethal instincts that have kept him alive.

When servants of the Lord of the Pit abduct the woman he loves for sacrifice, Shannow follows them into the Plague Lands. His pursuit becomes a confrontation with hellborn forces and with the contradiction at the centre of his life: a man longing for peace who repeatedly becomes the most dangerous gunfighter in the wasteland.
