The Cackler

The Cackler is an ancient Harrowed in search of a very particular blood relative for a nefarious and mysterious ritual that could change the world of Deadlands forever!
The Texas Rangers and Agency have invoked the "Twilight Protocol" to unite against the Cackler and are doing everything they can to stop him. They're joined by Morgan Lash-a former Wichita Witch who's shed her dark past to protect the girl the Cackler searches for-her sister!
