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.
Book One of a new Contemp. Fantasy / Paranormal Romance series.

Cast of Characters
Janet Begay: Raised on the Navajo Nation, Janet can draw the power of storms to feed her formidable latent magic. Without a storm, she's pretty powerless. Storm power makes her crazy, and only Mick can ease her down.

Mick: A biker who rescued Janet from the clutches of her own power. She fell in love with him, but she has no idea who he really is or where he comes from. She knows only that Mick wields powerful fire magic and can draw off her storm powers with his sensual touch.

Nash Jones: The Sheriff of Hopi County, he's an Unbeliever, not fond of people who claim they use magic. He's ex-Army special forces, a stickler for rules and regs, and might possess the most potent magic of all.

Maya Medina: A beautiful electrician with many secrets.

Fremont Hansen: A plumber who calls himself a minor mage. He has secrets too.

Jamison Kee:: A Navajo shape shifter (a Changer), friend to Janet. He's responsible for bringing her to Magellan.

Coyote: A shape-shifting trickster god with an eye for the ladies. Despite his jovial exterior, Janet knows he's damn dangerous.

Amy McGuire: Nash Jones's fiancée, she's disappeared without a trace.

Chief McGuire: Magellan's chief of police and a worried father.
