The Weary City

Wendelin Gray

Alone and stuck with an unwanted pregnancy, trailer park queen Terry Watts is given an old book of spells by a stranger after a regrettable night of drinking. Instead of granting her wish to be free from her troubles, the spell sends her to a blasted, post-apocalyptic city ruled by a magician and his pack of mastiffs. Seeing that the city holds no promise of release, Terry turns to the mysterious, oddly familiar young woman Annabella and the biker Gage who are the few who remain to wander in the city, hoping they can help her get back home. All the city holds is magical dust, soul-eating dogs, dead flowers and vengeful spirits of children sacrificed to the Dogmaster, for Terry was not the first woman to be trapped in the city by the strange book of spells. As friend becomes foe and foe becomes friend, Terry must make a choice about her unborn child and confront her own family's history.
