Zane Obispo prefers exploring the dormant volcano near his New Mexico home with his dog, Rosie, over dealing with the kids at middle school who tease him about his cane. But Zane's life flips upside down when a mysterious new girl named Brooks arrives and drops a massive bombshell: the volcano is actually a gateway to another world, and Zane is at the center of an ancient Maya prophecy. Even worse, he is destined to release a terrifyingly evil god from an ancient relic. When Zane and Brooks return to the volcano, all kinds of crazy breaks loose. Brooks transforms into a hawk, demons attack, and Rosie risks everything to protect Zane. To save his dog and survive the coming war between the gods—one of whom happens to be his own father—Zane must embrace his destiny and become the Storm Runner. But how can he run when he can barely walk? Dive into this action-packed mythological adventure full of dangerous secrets, surprising discoveries, and epic battles.
