Wand Smoke

A man may outrun his Demons, but never the desert. Cursed wanderer Runs-in-the-Sun flees his own Demon-possessed shadow, hunted by regret and weighed down with the lives of three Spirit-scarred sisters. In the sun-scorched vastness of the Skræling Steppe, where shadows cast long and treacherous, a cursed wanderer called Runs-in-the-Sun flees his shade now possessed by a Demon Spirit. Once a dreamer who wished an oasis for his village, his ambition unleashed a cataclysm that reduced his home to dust and his body to a prickly, poisonous cactus. Pursued by his past and haunted by Demons, he races across the desert, his only solace the bitter fruit that grows from his own flesh-that is until he stumbles upon a slave cart carrying three Spirit-scarred sisters. Will his relentless sprint outpace the Demons, or will his shadow at last catch up with him and the three sister he seeks to rescue? Descend into Demons, a dark fantasy novella of sacrifice, courage, and redemption in the spirit of Jack Vance's Tales of the Dying Earth, told with the poetic gravity of Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian.
