Description
The Arcane West. A barren land of rolling prairies and desert plains and ragged townships and distant mountains wreathed in snow. A country that brings suffering to all who dare venture through it. But there is wealth and promise to be found in the right places. Dreams fostered in the hearts of brave and foolhardy settlers as they spill out across the dusty wilderness. Who can find the strength to face the archaic evils of The West and who will be consumed by them? And with how the desert touches and corrupts all who walk it, is either a better fate? Follow a watch-maker consumed by the mastery of his craft. A tobacconist with a gods-stricken fear of the moon. The old sheriff of a struggling outpost, outmatched by the threat of outlaws and the prairie's more ancient evils. As the lives of both settlers and natives are measured against the arcane hostility of The West, stories intertwine and coalesce and divide. What is the secret beating at the heart of the prairie's seemingly cognizant malice? And what is it all worth?
