Half-Navajo Janet Begay comes to Magellan to investigate
the mysterious disappearance of the police chief's
daughter. But the people of Magellan sense that Janet is
not what she seems, and they're right.
Janet possesses extraordinary power which is tied to the
storms that waft across the desert. The only person who can
control her when she's caught in the storm's evocative
power is Mick, a dark-haired, blue-eyed biker Janet can't
seem to touch with her powers. He can weild fire and not
get burned, and Janet's never sure where he goes when
they're not together.
Together they investigate mysterious disappearances, which
Janet fears are tied to her mother's people, the mythical
gods from below the earth. They are helped along the way by
Coyote and Crow, but these shapeshifting gods have their
own agendas.
