A grieving mother named Dyani has been disturbed. The Alvarado gang — Mexican desperadoes who ride into Navajo country without fear — have taken her daughter Lomasi from a mission school. The military won’t act. There are no warriors left to send. So Dyani comes to the only man who might be willing.

Driven by his need to help—and blinded by the belief that he can handle it—Zephyr makes a choice that sets everything in motion. A choice that begins not with triumph…

…but with a false start.
