That was quite different from the usual boy-girl romance that happens in dystopian/urban fantasy novels. Since Kai was not there for most of the book, it was mostly about girl power and girl relationships. Also, she realizes that she has to start letting people in if she wants to survive. Soon, Maggie stops fighting her companions and starts to realize that she might just have a family of sorts and that being always alone is not all that good, especially in the hard times she faces. She has to join forces with Rissa and Ben to not only take down a fanatic cult leader but also to save Dinetah, and to also save Kai. Some four months after the end of the first book in the series, in Storm of the Locusts Kai, the medicine man and friend for Maggie is no more with her, so now Maggie is now stuck with a young woman with whom she simply can’t see eye to eye. Storm of the Locusts (Sixth World Series)

Maggie starts investigating with the help of Kai Arviso, a young medicine man who is still in training, with whom she starts on a quest to not only find missing girls but also to fight monsters and deal with the unleashed magic. A small town asks Maggie for help to find a missing girl, since there is no one else to ask. Meet Maggie Hoskie, our supernatural hero who hunts the golem-like monsters. Also, there is magic on these lands that has been set free through the flood. But now, in its wake, there are other creatures risen from the world’s ashes, a monster the roams the lands. There are only some small communities remaining, like the one we are looking at now within a walled Navajo reservation set in Dinétah. The climate change took care for it, bringing most of the land underwater. In the first book of the series, most of the world as we know it is gone.
