Opis

There is a sandbar between two Florida islands that sinks beneath the warm Gulf waters, only to reappear decades later during tropical storms and hurricanes. To locals, this mysterious passage is a shortcut between the Bay and Gulf when open, and a beautiful private beach when the sands rise again. For the Calusa Indians, it is a spiritual passage between the worlds. Their 10,000 year reign over South Florida comes to an end, and the tribe sinks into the closing waters. It will be centuries with Midnight Pass opening and closing after Hurakan's storms, before the Calusa's return to help Kali and her followers prepare to win a battle after the gods rage storms of apocalyptic proportion. Kali and her twin brother Tommy, were raised on Siesta Key. When they were twelve, Tommy took their fishing skiff for a short excursion out of the inlet and into the Bay. He never returned. Over the years, Kali discovers that she shares unusual beliefs with her Aunt. Noreen guides Kali's visions of a strange Indian tribe that will help them survive the destructive apocalyptic war. Strange events surround the two women, as the Shaman and Jatung, the Calusa chief, share their wisdom. A panther god becomes a guardian for the women, as their determination and strong beliefs help Kali and her friends re-build life on Siesta Key after the storms and tidal waves leave them isolated. The strange coven from Estero become experts at fishing, Cinda and the healers from Manatee plant gardens, and Arnell and her group of warriors, build canoes and weapons. Meanwhile, Brad and Lucayo are busy on the mainland, organizing their forces in Myakka. They are equally as determined to defeat the women in the final battle on the shores of Midnight Pass.
