The Goddesses of Life and Death are engaged in a ten-year game. The game board is 1930’s Dust Bowl Oklahoma, and the game pieces are residents of Elysium City, with Sal Wilkerson—a misfit teen whose mother was consumed by the Dust Sickness—and Asa—a human-obsessed demon masquerading as a magician—are their rival pawns. When Mother Morvena—an elder witch and the unofficial leader of the Elysium—anoints Sal as her successor, and a duel between her and the illusionist newcomer ends catastrophically, their worlds unwind. The two are blamed for compromising the immortals' game and excommunicated to the bordering wasteland. Their salvation from the cannibal-infested desert comes in the form of an all-girl cavalry on scrap metal, witchcraft-powered horses. But is this combination a match against the divine themselves?
