Stella Ochoa, Mistress Earth Witch, finds herself surprised as she learns she has many more relatives than she knew. Lucy, her cousin, turns up begging our heroine to help save her husband and his colleagues who've been trapped in a mining collapse. But first, this newfound relative leads Stella to confront the father she never knew and her mother denies. And if the trip to the mining site isn't dangerous enough, upon her arrival, the very earth itself, her own element, swears that it will kill her.
