Locators are rare. Only 11 people can access chambers throughout the world. The fourth-dimensional pockets themselves are a mystery. They can hold anything from both known and unknown worlds. With a locator's ability comes power. A power that hasn't escaped the notice of the Ceruleman race. They will stop at nothing to keep control of the chambers. Of the locators. Of her.

If she were a normal 15-year-old girl, Ivy Nimiki would only be worried about getting her driver's license, arguing with her dad, and finding time to spend with her friends. She wouldn't be losing sleep over her sudden lack of storm control, the inevitable curse that will claim the life of the boy she loves, and her nightmares of the Great Horned Serpent. Ivy never has been, and never will be, normal. It's up to her to find an amulet to defeat the Serpent and end the curse. But how can she do that when the Thunderbird has disappeared?

After a thousand years of curses, the Thunderbird's secrets are about to be unleashed in the charming town of Galena, Illinois. Ivy is a normal fifteen-year-old girl . . . if you consider yellow eyes and storm-chasing urges normal. Life gets even more normal when she runs away from home to find Walter Nimiki, the grandfather she's never met. It's he who tells her the truth - Ivy is a descendant of the cursed Thunder Clan, so the boy she'll someday fall in love with will die young.

David Paul Folyant expertly captures the spirit of fear that results from such an environment. Folyant further pushes the envelop to ponder the possible consequences of today's surveillance culture.
