A fast paced historical novel set in the stunning landscape of the high Arizona desert. An age-old land dispute between the Navajo and Hopi's pits traditional against non-traditional Indians in a battle of cultural heritage versus material wealth. But all is not as it seems. Layered in complexities, powerful forces from mining companies to a certain soul siphoning church are hell-bent on manipulating the future of both tribes. Michael Donovan, investigative journalist is on scene to make sense of what he sees as a larger conspiracy. As he digs deeper he joins up with Nick Leone, a dispossessed Vietnam vet, and the passionate Navajo, Lorraine Whitesinger. In the process, Donovan far from his own cultural roots undergoes a spiritual odyssey in the land of the Old Ones.
