Wes crosses into Mexico for what probably will be the final time. This part of the saga contains a touch of the tall tale, a touch of magic realism, and the wide-open spaces of the desert and the sea.

Of course, those are more similar than they are not. Both are filled with angry gods who conspire to pit man against the elements and man against himself.

Wes makes new lifelong friends and retires a few more enemies on his way to Mexico and the rest of his life. Most importantly, he learns who he truly is and the value of love, magic, a family, and a good horse.
