暢銷書作家里克·裡奧丹 (Rick Riordan) 為您呈現原住民奇幻作家麗貝卡·羅恩霍斯 (Rebecca Roanhorse) 的驚險冒險之旅，講述了一位納瓦霍族女孩發現自己是怪物獵人的故事。
最近，七年級學生尼佐尼·貝蓋 (Nizhoni Begay) 發現了怪物，例如在她看籃球比賽時，坐在露天看台上那個穿著花哨西裝的男人。原來他是查爾斯先生，她父親在石油天然氣公司的新老闆，
他對尼佐尼和她哥哥麥克、他們的納瓦霍血統以及英雄雙胞胎的傳說都異常感興趣。尼佐尼知道他是個威脅，但她的父親卻不相信她。
第二天，爸爸失蹤了，留下一張「快跑！」的字條。兄妹倆和尼佐尼最好的朋友戴弗里被派去執行一項救援任務，這項任務只有在迪內聖民的幫助下才能完成，這些聖民都偽裝成古怪的人物。
他們的幫助是有代價的：孩子必須通過一連串考驗，而這些考驗似乎大自然本身就要置他們於死地。如果尼佐尼、麥克和戴弗里能夠到達太陽屋，他們就能獲得所需的裝備，擊敗查爾斯先生釋放的遠古怪物。
但尼佐尼要想成為她命中註定的英雄，光有武器是不夠的…
Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents Indigenous fantasy writer Rebecca Roanhorse's thrilling adventure about a Navajo girl who discovers she's a monsterslayer.
*"Fans of Hugo and Nebula winner Roanhorse will appreciate her fast-paced prose, page-turning chapter endings, and most of all, strong female protagonist."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Lately, seventh grader Nizhoni Begay has been able to detect monsters, like that man in the fancy suit who was in the bleachers at her basketball game. Turns out he's Mr. Charles, her dad's new boss at the oil and gas company, and he's alarmingly interested in Nizhoni and her brother, Mac, their Navajo heritage, and the legend of the Hero Twins. Nizhoni knows he's a threat, but her father won't believe her.
When Dad disappears the next day, leaving behind a message that says "Run!", the siblings and Nizhoni's best friend, Davery, are thrust into a rescue mission that can only be accomplished with the help of Diné Holy People, all disguised as quirky characters. Their aid will come at a price: the kids must pass a series of trials in which it seems like nature itself is out to kill them. If Nizhoni, Mac, and Davery can reach the House of the Sun, they will be outfitted with what they need to defeat the ancient monsters Mr. Charles has unleashed. But it will take more than weapons for Nizhoni to become the hero she was destined to be . . .
