The gods and heroes of legend walk the land once more… but so do monsters. It falls to one young woman to unravel the mysteries of the past before they destroy the future. Maggie Hoskie is a Dinétah monster hunter — a supernaturally gifted killer. When a small town calls on her to find a missing girl, Maggie becomes their last hope. But what she uncovers about the creature she’s hunting is far more terrifying than she could imagine. Reluctantly, Maggie teams up with Kai Arviso, an unconventional medicine man, and together they crisscross the rez, following clues from ancient legends, trading favors with tricksters, and facing down dark witchcraft in a world where old magic meets crumbling technology. As Maggie discovers the truth behind the killings, she must confront her past — or risk losing her future. Welcome to the Sixth World.
