Zoey Le Mar and the Wrath of the Anasazi

Zoey Le Mar no longer has a boring preteen life in the suburbs. Magical armor, a ghostly ancestral guide, and monsters always popping up remind her how denial and a veil of secrets got her, and her friends, where they are today. Coming full circle, during a fun multifamily vacation to Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado, strange dreams and premonitions began to occur, again. However, this time, they involve Danielle and her Native American heritage. The visions are of a time when the white man deceived and disseminated the native inhabitants. While shocking and disturbing, Zoey, Danielle, Lucy, and Rhea talk amongst themselves about the bizarre incidences and convince themselves that what’s going is non-magical in nature or life threatening; hence, the parents don’t need to know. More dreams and premonitions intrude and weigh heavily on Danielle. Even Lucy gets pulled into one, somehow. The visions revolve around a young teen, a shaman-in-training, and a strange pattern forms as accidents start to happen. Luckily, the girls cover; however, they dismiss or rationalize, again. Rhea does not like this approach, and after a special trip—a magical spirit walk—the girls finally come clean and inform the parents. Though severely reprimanded, the consensus is there is no danger, and this weirdness is part of the girl’s multifaceted training. Many aren’t happy with this, and the vacation continues. During an exploration of another cliff dwelling, a secret cavern is discovered, and angry Native American ghosts are unwittingly released. To make matters worse, the ghosts possess girls’ parents, and through Danielle’s mother, they gain access to magic. The ghosts want revenge and to reclaim a life once lost. Now, hard decisions demand action. Can Zoey lead her friends, protect innocence bystanders, and choose between secrets or safety and lies or sacrifice?
