Paul has been having one of the worst days of his life — and then his instructor gets drafted by a mystical goddess to help save a world. Paul is not supposed to be there at all, but that changes nothing. He is now on a one-way trip, forced to help a man who despises him, at the mercy of the world's greatest trickster.

Paul has been having one of the worst days of his life — and then his instructor gets drafted by a mystical goddess to help save a world. Paul is not supposed to be there at all, but it does not matter. He is now on a one-way trip, forced to help a man who despises him, at the mercy of the world's greatest trickster.

Coyote has a new task for Paul: travel hundreds of miles north over the post-apocalyptic wasteland of California, the place he once called home. Thankfully, Sarah and Heather have decided to come along — between Heather's shooting skills and Sarah's magic, Paul thinks he might just survive whatever scheme Coyote has enlisted him in. If he can live through telling them what Coyote has him carrying in his pack, of course.

Since being brought forward in time to the post-apocalyptic wasteland of what was once his home, life has been hard on Paul — though it has had two good points: Sarah and Heather. Now Coyote wants him to finally deal with the task he was brought here for: Aybem. While it has always seemed clear that destroying Aybem is Riggs' job, Coyote is unconvinced he can do it without Paul's help. And of course, there is the question of what happens to Paul once Coyote no longer needs him at all.
