<p>No one knew the truth about what happened to Raina Notah, but when she is found scantily clothed and face down in the Sonoran Desert six months after she goes missing, whispers of drugs and prostitution begin to circulate. When Raina’s father finds her brutalized body, he collapses and dies. Her mother, already on the brink of a mental collapse, withdraws into a world of her own when her husband dies on the same day she learns her daughter is dead. Raina’s four-year-old son, Ira, is orphaned, deported from his homeland, and ordered to live with estranged relatives in rural Mexico. Forlorn and forgotten, tormented by an increasing sense that he belongs nowhere, Ira sets out into the desert at the vulnerable age of ten, alone. He’s guided through nomadic perils by a protective powerful spirit, which he distrusts, believing it is his mother, the woman who had taken up drugs and prostitution and deserted him. He is finally rescued years later and taken back to the United States by the family priest, Father Lelonis Kendall, a military chaplain. Raina’s powerful spirit does not leave Ira’s consciousness. Unrelenting, she leads him to a savage truth hidden in the foothills of the Sonoran Valley, where, lurking in its shadows, lies a breeding ground, a genesis so cruel, so patently evil, that if not extinguished from the earth, it will proliferate and degrade all of humanity. Ira, acting as Raina’s witness, realizes he must unveil this unholy organization, stop its growth and expose the truth behind his mother’s death.</p>
