It had been a year since her mother's death,

Given a vision, SuSaan struggles to rescue a neighboring village from a mysterious group of attackers. On her quest, she learns that these very same raiders killed her mother just one year ago.

The events surrounding Desert Wind come from the actual oral traditions and histories passed down through generations to the Kwaaymii of today. The story takes place in the Laguna Mountains and Anza Borrego Desert of Southern California, approximately 400 to 495 years ago.
