In the dying industrial town of Rust Valley, Pastor Gregory Armstrong runs a warming shelter offering sanctuary to society's forgotten. But when a mysterious dagger appears on his doorstep-an ancient weapon with an insatiable hunger for blood-Gregory is thrust into a darkness that will test his faith and humanity.
As he discovers the dagger's terrifying power to grant invisibility and manipulate time itself, Gregory begins a descent into vigilante justice, targeting those he deems deserving of death. With each kill, the weapon's influence grows stronger, transforming the once-gentle pastor into something both more and less than human.
But there are larger forces at work in Rust Valley. The Iron Syndicate's criminal empire, a looming environmental catastrophe, and a cosmic event that has locked the moon in an eternal vigil all converge as Gregory wrestles with the dagger's seductive whispers. Is he delivering divine judgment, or has he become the very evil he sought to destroy?
Ma-Bak-WoN is a supernatural thriller that explores the razor's edge between justice and vengeance, redemption and damnation, as one man's quest to cleanse his town of sin leads him down a path from which there may be no return.
