After destroying the headquarters of the all-powerful Grail conspiracy and freeing his hard-drinking vampire pal Cassidy from its dungeons, the Reverend Jesse Custer is about to reunite with his straight-shooting girlfried Tulip O'Hare and resume his hunt for answers from an elusive God--provided that Tulip forgives him for leaving her behind during his little rescue mission. But getting those answers will mean delving into the hidden mind of Genesis, the angel/demon offspring that has fused itself to Jesse's soul. And that will require some serious spiritual excavation--the kind that only real, down-home black magic can offer.
