This romantic adventure story is set in the modern Southwest, where a young archaeology professor and a grizzled publisher of treasure hunting stories persuade an organization of psychic forensic investigators to use their powers to locate ancient Anasazi healing sites. When Dr. Buck Tyler meets beautiful Indian psychometrist Sharon Hightower, they are astonished to discover they share her psychic visions when together. On an expedition to a village in southern New Mexico, they discover the psychic record of a tale of betrayal, murder, a wrongfully-acquired Tiwa Indian healing spring, and an Anasazi ceremonial treasure cave. Trapped in the cave, pursued by antagonists, Buck and Sharon must solve the spiritual riddle of the cave's role in the rites of passage of the shamans of long ago.
