Fearing the loss of her financial backing, eminent archaeologist Kimberly Blair accepts her benefactor's daughter as an assistant on a project in Arizona's Superstition Mountains. But PJ Curtis, though a well-educated archaeologist, seems to lack dedication and maturity, and her reputation as a playgirl threatens the cohesiveness of Kim's close-knit crew.
Soon, PJ's questionable judgment jeopardizes Kim's obsessive quest to find evidence of a lost tribe of Amazons; a quest that brought her half way across the globe to the Southwestern United States.
Kim and PJ encounter earthquakes, rockslides, rattlesnakes and a growing attraction for each other. They discover that shadows from the past can reach out to those living in the present, and that Amazons exist even today. Their spirit and strength live on in the souls of these two women.
