A complete fantasy book. Technically ... a weird western. Gunslingers, hex witches, dogmen, minotaur, trains that run further than you can imagine ... Mikeos Jones is a gunslinger, faster than thinking, part of the gunlaw, a man who can seldom afford the luxury of looking past the end of any given day. Jenna Crossard is a hex-witch, but her ambitions are larger than spells and charms - the need to understand the world consumes her. They say the gunlaw keeps men safe from the endless horror of the sect, but to Jenna it's a cage and she wants out. If that means breaking open the world and killing a few gods ... so be it.

Every thousand years, elemental power must be unleashed upon the world of Emileian in order to keep the life on it from withering and fading away. Fauna, Triton, Vulcan, and Zephyr govern all existence on the planet. Chosen by fate, two warriors are born with a single purpose; to save all life by releasing each element into the world. This time it is up to Pyro and Cade to adventure to all corners of the world and seek out the four elements. Neither knows why they must do this, but something big has been put into play, and they know within themselves they must stop this impending threat to life as they know it.

Phoenix is a young Fire Elemental from a city in the fire country called Yaag. He has the altogether unheard of ability to receive fallen Elementals powers for a short time, as long as he is in close proximity to them at the time of their death. A bone chilling prophecy will turn him into a seemingly power hungry villian, but what are his real motives for the atrocities he is committing?
