Lead Destiny

Lead Destiny is about the Man of Many Names, a gunslinger in the Wild West. He is a veteran of the Civil War, and he has been aimlessly wandering, searching for a purpose and trying to outrun his past trauma. His situation both worsens and improves when he stumbles upon a witch’s hut and she shows him his destiny. In the following months, he tries to outrun that destiny, eventually falling into the hands of a dangerous gang in Wyoming. After narrowly escaping them, he meets a beautiful woman named Cassidy who happens to be the witch’s daughter. He finds the purpose he had been searching for in her when the witch asks him to keep her safe on her quest for revenge and to save the town of Crow’s Landing against the very gang he just escaped. Lead Destiny also follows the deterioration and restoration of the Man of Many Names’ mental state. After an encounter with peyote, his grip on his sanity is starting to falter, and he wonders if he is going insane as he hears prophetic voices informing him of his own doom, actual ghosts of his former friends speaking from beyond the grave, as well as memories of his own death. He also experiences visits from demonic kings that instill fear in the reader’s heart. He ponders life and death and his place in the world as he questions his own mind in a world where no one can be sure of what is real and what is delusion.
