Before long their family problems are intertwined with the fate of the empire itself.

The dream comes every night: A warrior clad in leather and wielding a spear, fighting off demons with the heads of jackrabbits and pumas. Defending her. Echo Ruiz knows it's ridiculous. There's no one in Santa Fe less likely to need defending. Thanks to the migraines, she's confined to her mother's house.

So does her best friend, Layla, who has secrets Echo's never guessed. But if Echo wants to defeat Coyote-if she wants to survive-she'll have to discover the way herself. Because that's one ending the legends have never told...
