Crystal Rain
Like his world, John deBrun has forgotten
more than he remembers. Twenty-seven years ago, he washed up onto the
shore of Nanagada with no memory of his past. Although he has made a
new life for himself among the peaceful islanders, his soul remains
haunted by unanswered questions about his own identity.
These
mysteries take on new urgency when the fearsome Azteca storm over the
Wicked High Mountains in search of fresh blood and hearts to feed their
cruel, inhuman gods. Nanagada’s only hope lies in a mythical artifact,
the Ma Wi Jung, said to be hidden somewhere in the frozen
north. And only John deBrun knows the device’s secrets, even if he
can’t remember why or how!
