Memento Mori
2020
Would you kill your last friend to save his soul?
Memento Mori is Latin for "Remember to Die" and nobody needs to remind Elizabeth Dee about death. There are far too many enemies seeking her life at any given time. Good thing she has the "Saint" of killers on her side, the gunfighter Orrin Porter Rockwell, because she needs all the help she can get fulfilling her mission to help the immortal magus John Dee on his quest for eternal peace.
But what if she doesn't want her mentor, friend, and even her great, great, great (you get the idea) grandfather to die? Can she let him go? Or even worse—kill him, so that he can find rest and escape the clutches of the nefarious Count of St. Germain? She isn't sure she can do that yet. She wants to learn magic and fulfill her destiny—not end her teacher's life.
Memento Mori is an action-packed Gaslamp fantasy in the vein of classic pulp fiction and Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns. If you like magical battles, larger-than-life characters, and witty humor, then you’ll love David J. West’s gripping tale.
