Publisher's Synopsis
In the wake of a fiery meteor, Loretta is unknowingly thrust center stage as a long awaited prophecy begins to unfold. Distrustful of cagey investigators, she secretly conceals nine stones from the wreckage and quietly places them with anonymous strangers. Despite her efforts, one by one, each returns, with the last in the hands of a four-year-old prophet. A SWAT team drops in before breakfast to confiscate the crystals and deliver them to scientists desperately working to save the planet. Amid earthquakes and volcanoes, science finally teams with theology, though ultimately must summon Loretta's original tribe. From guardian crows and a wayward canine, to an heiress, a musician and a tequila-toting prospector, each holds a key toward discovering the truth. Hovered on the brink of destruction, humanity is forced to acknowledge that the only true solution must begin and end with the human heart.
