The Devil’s West is Laura Anne Gilman’s most ambitious original series, set in an alternate America where the territory west of the Mississippi is governed by a figure known only as the Old Man, who is the devil himself. Isobel, his Left Hand and enforcer, rides the Territory to maintain the bargain that keeps the land in balance.

The six-book series, published from 2015 to 2019, blends Western frontier storytelling with fantasy. Gilman builds a world where magic is drawn from the bones of the land, and the rules are as harsh and beautiful as the landscape itself.
