Evan Jones has come from Wales with his brothers to work in the Copper Mule Mine of Bisbee, Arizona Territory. When tragedy strikes, a Mexican curandera known only as The Senora saves their lives. Evan's indiscretions cause her to leave abruptly, disappearing from Bisbee without a clue. Reyna Svenson is a widow with remarkable healing skills, an adopted sister and Beloved Woman of the Apache, who doesn't quite know how to cope with Evan Jones. His animal spirit, or totem, is strange to her, for his is the Dragon, ancient fearful enemy of her own totem, the Hawk. Elements of Fire and Wind, their spirits could combine into great enlightenment--or ignite an inferno of destruction. From the brothels of Tombstone and the gambling halls of Silver City to the stark, isolated beauty of Sabino Canyon, Evan and his brothers struggle to build new lives amid wild adventures, earning the animosity of a notorious outlaw out for blood."
