Their journey will take them across the American Southwest, where they must rely on the help of ancient Dine Holy People in clever disguises. To defeat the ancient monsters Mr. Charles has unleashed, the trio must survive a dangerous series of trials to reach the legendary House of the Sun. You will love this fast-paced quest filled with legendary heroes, terrifying creatures, and the unbreakable bond of family.
