Handfast — Kristine Kathryn Rusch

When Ry gave her the gun, she thought it the most romantic gift she'd ever received. But after his death she had to put the magic gun in her past or risk losing her future.

Until the day she can no longer keep the gun at bay. It demands answers. Answers only she can find. Answers that involve a ceremony she never fully understood. Until now.

“Rusch is a great storyteller.”
