Book Description:
They summoned the healer Snake and she traveled the blasted landscape to save a sick child. With her she carried two serpents from whose venom she distills her medicine-and a third, even more precious, the alien dreamsnake, whose bite can ease the fear and pain of death. But when her dreamsnake is killed by the primitive ignorance of those she had come to help, her powers as a healer are all but lost. Now Snake's only hope of finding another dreamsnake lies in a treacherous journey to the far-off Center City, where she'll be pursued by two implacable followers-one driven made by love the other by fear and need.

This novel is the continuation of "Of Mist, and Grass, and Sand", which forms the first chapter and is one of the more hypnotic short stories ever written. The rest of the book does not live up to the high standards of the beginning, being more straighforward fantasy wish-fullfillment. Nonetheless, the whole is a beautiful future romance with excellent ideas about post-apocalyptic genetic manipulations and the fragmenting social structures of a dying world.
