Long after climate change has wiped out millions and reshaped the world, the US has ended in civil war and rule by corporations. A privileged class of oligarchs and their private security units live under climate-controlled domes, while the dispossessed majority struggles to survive.
In the wastelands of Sacrifice - once the American Southwest - a charismatic brother and sister known in whispers as "The Twins" gather an army of the desperate and launch a brief, terrifying insurgency. Decades later, the Reunited States rises again - colder, harder, more religious and more exclusionary than ever.
But the blazing legacy of the Twins, half-history, half-legend, lingers in surprising ways...
Equal parts futuristic western and literary epic, Dennison Smith's novel confronts what is lost - and what may yet be born.
