An ancient tragedy of fate and fortune, of betrayal and murder most foul. Of a kingdom in the modern American Southwest; a fiefdom dealing illegal drugs fuelled by ambition and greed. And swirling around it all; a mystic force that chills the blood.
Fate is inexorable.

Duncan is a meth king in the southwest desert. His feifdom a trailer park, his castle a honky-tonk, his soldiers spreading poison throughout the west and reaping the harvest of ruined lives and lost souls. Through tarot, palm, and bones, the Grim Sisters foresee the coming together of Duncan's fiercest warrior Mac, and Duncan's niece Bethany … "They join in storm and they part in storm" … and from that coupling the wheels of fate begin to turn, greased with greed, murder, and madness. Goaded on by Bethany, Mac is enraptured by the fortunetellers' promises of power and wealth. He is told he cannot be killed "by any soul born on this earth", and thus is emboldened in his rise to power. Told through the eyes of Banks - Mac's most trusted friend and confidant - the dark tragedy unfolds, building to a climax of violence, sorrow, and tragedy. Fate is inexorable.
