ancient secrets more valuable than the lost gold of Cibola.
Rescued from certain death in an abandoned mine by Addie, an animal whisperer, Diane and her clan of adventurers escape to a haunted cliff dwelling, where they encounter Za-tha, zaman of the Aszanii people, who sends them on a magical quest to find the “Secrets of the Five Rays of Light” and riches beyond their wildest imaginations.
