"Journey through the land of the ancient ones, where spirits still protect the mysterious canyons where they once dwelled, and strange drawings on the rock walls have stood for a thousand years. Zach Connors, known as Grizzly Killer, travels with his family through the rugged and mysterious canyons where the Anasazi once built their homes high on the cliffs. The year is 1833, and they are going to Taos for the supplies they will need for another year living in the Rocky Mountains. Before reaching the Taos Valley they face dangers from not only the unforgiving and rugged land, but they must cross the mighty Colorado, Green and San Juan Rivers. They meet a Navajo Spirit Talker that can feel her same powers within Star and Raven Wing. They face dangers from new enemies, and encounter an old and evil nemesis, and must fight alongside Mexican soldiers before trading their plews and starting on the long trek back home." -- Back cover.
