From Amazon bestselling author Harmon Cooper comes a standalone post-apocalyptic neo-western: a brutal, strange, and beautiful story of two damned men and the blind Goddess between them.
Strider has three days to kidnap the Goddess of the South and drag her across the Canyon, or his family dies.
The job should be simple: grab the blind woman, deliver her to the man who owns his debt, walk away. But the Goddess won't stop talking inside his head and the Canyon is tearing itself apart around him. The deeper Strider goes, the more he suspects that everything he was taught—about the world, the war, the Book, and the wall that divides North from South—is a lie engineered by something that stopped being human a long time ago.
To the south, Hunter is coming for her too. A devout killer with a fractured mind and a head full of voices, he believes the Goddess is his to protect, and he'll carve his way across the Canyon to reach her, not knowing whose side he's truly on.
Two men. One Goddess. A world built on a lie.
Strider captured fire. Now he has to decide whether to carry it or let it burn.
Tropes: Antihero, dual POV, post-apocalyptic frontier, morally gray characters, conspiracy, gritty action, standalone
Genre: Science Fiction
