По угольно-черной пустыне странствует целительница по имени Снейк. В ее притороченном к седлу саквояже дремлют три змеи, ведь фирменное лекарство Снейк — змеиный яд, который может вылечить практически все — от столбняка до лихорадки.
Но однажды по злосчастному стечению обстоятельств погибает самая ценная из ее змей — утишительница боли, змея-наркотик, змея-греза. Подобных ей существ больше не осталось в природе, разве что в Цитадели, где правят могущественные ученые и куда заказан путь любому жителю пустыни, даже такому просвещенному, как целитель.
Законы братства целителей суровы, и Снейк грозит изгнание — ей не простят потерю столь ценного инструмента в борьбе со Смертью.
И Снейк не остается ничего, кроме как пуститься в новое путешествие, в котором ее подстерегает множество опасностей и, возможно, гибель...
