Turns out he's Mr. Charles her dad's new boss at the oil and gas company and he's alarmingly interested in Nizhoni and her brother Mac their Navajo heritage and the legend of the Hero Twins.

When Dad disappears the next day leaving behind a message that says Run! the siblings and Nizhoni's best friend Davery are thrust into a rescue mission that can only be accomplished with the help of Diné Holy People all disguised as quirky characters.

If Nizhoni Mac and Davery can reach the House of the Sun they will be outfitted with what they need to defeat the ancient monsters Mr. Charles has unleashed. But it will take more than weapons for Nizhoni to become the hero she was destined to be . . .

Endorsed by Rick Riordan author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians soon to be a series on Disney+.
