Digital edition of the first book in the Southwest Gothic series.

Before the Reaping came the drought. Before the drought came the theft of magic. 

The Desert Southwest is dying, choked by a supernatural drought that is erasing legends from existence. When Macarthy Black steps back into her power to find out why, she uncovers a terrifying truth: the ancient entity stealing the region’s lore has set its sights on her.

Joined by a closet necromancer turned meteorologist, a razor-witted cleric moonlighting as a scholar, and a lethal stranger with ties to the cartel underworld, Macarthy enters a race against an ancient evil. But unearthing a monster’s secrets is dangerous work—and failure means watching the world reap what it sows.

With tensions running high and time running out, they must pool their wit and magic to stop the Harvesting Angel’s plot before its world-altering Reaping claims them all.

Includes special chapter headings, appendix of points of interest, coven maps, and coven details which are not included in the Amazon or Ingram Sparks editions.
