After evading Longarm, they visit a library, only to discover that the surrounding town is swarming with ch’į́įdii, the ghostly residues of tainted dead. Newly partnered despite Maggie’s reluctance, Maggie and Kai head out to research the tsé naayéé’ but are stopped by a local lawman nicknamed Longarm who hates Maggie. Although Tah is unfamiliar with this monster, he introduces Maggie to his actual grandson Kai, a fancily dressed medicine man in training who does recognize the monster. After killing the girl (out of mercy) and the monster, Maggie brings the monster’s head to her honorary Grandpa Tah, a well-liked monster expert. When Maggie travels to the mountains tracking the girl, she finds the girl, barely alive but doomed to die because she has been tainted by her cannibalistic monster kidnapper. She visits the Dinétah town of Lukachukai, where a family hopes that Maggie, with her supernatural clan powers, can find their lost daughter. In the near future, after the world as we know it-the Fifth World-was destroyed by a flood, ushering in the Sixth World, Maggie Hoskie, a 20-year-old Dinétah (Navajo) woman, is haunted after being abandoned by her heroic and divine mentor Neizghání, whom she still loves.
