It’s up to Maryse and her friends Sadie, a sharpshooter, and Chef, a former soldier and explosives expert, to protect the community from evil. Klu Kluxxers look like regular Klansmen on the outside, but to those with the sight, they are monsters. Maryse wields a sword, but a special sword given to her by three godlike entities that contains the energy of generations of enslaved […]
