When Jesse gets struck by lightning following the death of his mother, the local weather goes haywire. Mini tornadoes appear out of nowhere, and the chicken coop freezes in summer. To give them a fresh start, Pa uproots them both to a Colorado mining town.
But there's a storm brewing in Silver Valley. A string of unusual mining accidents has locals whispering of dark magic, and the marshal sent to investigate goes missing. Only Jesse can see the shadow of a dragon hovering around the marshal's teenage assistant, Boone.
Looking for help, Boone draws Jesse into a world of magic and intrigue to stop an evil skinwalker from finding an ancient pot shard hidden somewhere in Silver Valley. A master of disguise, the skinwalker could be anyone. If Boone and Jesse can't find the pot shard first, the skinwalker will bring back a reign of terror to the West!
