Dan Fields, the soldier swept through time from the Civil War to 2010 in Rebel Traveler, has settled into a new life with his wife Allie and their teenaged daughter Anna. Now, in 2028, the nation is gripped by severe drought. West Virginia is one of the few places which still has an abundance of water held deep in its mountain aquifers. Water is money, and money is power, so formidable forces collude to steal this resource and sell it to desperate customers far away. One faction of the water raiders is led by Dan’s cousin Dillon, a dangerous warlock with a gang of thugs. He works with other criminal masterminds — human and otherwise — to highjack Morgan County’s precious water.
Federal and state authorities cannot prevent the thefts, so the Fields family and their allies must act. An ancient tribe of Fey live in the mountains around Dan’s ancestral farm, and as guardians of the natural world they lend their magical powers to his cause. Dan’s daughter Anna has inherited the Fields’ family gift of knowing, and her power grows as she reaches adulthood. Spellwork comes naturally to her, and her abilities attract the attention of a young Fey prince. As tension between the raiders and the defenders mounts, each side brings its own magical and strategic skills to the battle for the water.
