"First of all, there isn't only one god. There are two Sisters--Life and Death--and their Mother, who presides over everything else. And the Sisters like to gamble against each other with things like time and space and human lives. And when our world ended and their Game began, it was silent and smothering as the grave."
April 14, 1935 is known as Black Sunday in Elysium, Oklahoma. It was the day that reality changed. A dust storm appeared on the horizon and soon engulfed the region in a dark cloud. It was the moment that the entities of the Mother, and her daughters, Life and Death revealed themselves, and the game they decided to play. For the next ten years, Elysium would have to prove themselves to decide if they would return to the normal world outside or remain in this dust-bowl dystopia for eternity.
In the present, only a short time remains to the next confrontation with the Dust Soldiers--the conduits of the entities. Sal, a young woman residing within the walls of Elysium, anxiously counts down with the rest of the town's citizens. Orphaned and outcasted by the rest, Sal still knows that she is destined for more than to be known as the "girl who cried rain." Premonitions of coming rain from when she was a young girl have plagued her ever since--turning the town against her when the rain never came. But the visions have only grown stronger. Dust Sickness has only become more prevalent within the city walls. Time is running out.
The time has also come for the town's leader to choose a Successor. Mother Morevna, a witch and strong leader shockingly names Sal to become that person. Ready for the challenge, and ready to discover more about herself and the possible magic that she possesses, Sal enters into training. Her victory and change of status, however, are eclipsed by the arrival of Asa to town. A professed traveling magician, Asa is truthfully a Daemon in disguise and servant to Life on an errand for his goddess. His exhibition of magic in a random dust storm, however, turns the townsfolk from Sal to Asa, causing a rift in the hierarchy. In an orchestrated magical duel between Sal and Asa to prove that Sal is the superior magic leader, plans go awry, and Sal finds herself banned from Elysium.
"As Asa realized this completely, the yearning seemed to fill his every sinew, his every fiber, and he knew he was powerless to resist this new, intoxicating thing called humanity."
Sal is faced with a much bigger problem now that she is stranded in the desert. Her want-to-be-human-daemon adversary luckily decides to accompany her outside the walls. As they traverse the harrowingly new landscape, the two begin on a journey that will unravel the truth about the game waged between Life and Death, Dust Sickness, and the foundations of Elysium itself.
Almost eerily familiar to current events in the world today, Elysium Girls is a timely read while a mysterious illness ravages the town, a celestial war ensues, and magic enables a secret agenda. Fans of diverse Westerns with a flare of Mad Max dystopia elements will find this fast-paced read a contender in dust-bowl fantasies.
