Waking up blind in a cave, nearly dead from an evil witch's attack, is merely the beginning of James Endredy's true and utterly gripping adventure with the witches of Veracruz, Mexico. As the apprentice of a powerful curandero (healer), Endredy learns the mystical arts of brujeria, a nearly extinct form of Aztec witchcraft. His perilous training - using dream trance to "fly" and invoking spirits of the underworld - is fraught with spiritual trials. Upon becoming a curandero himself, Endredy takes on real-life cases: battling malevolent witches, healing a young man possessed by an Aztec spirit, rescuing a teenage girl from a Mexican drug cartel, and hunting down a baby-killing vampire witch.
