Storm's coming... Life on Earth is much improved since the pagan gods' return. As conflict eases around the world, attention—and money—has turned to more humanitarian improving the lives of the First Nations peoples and others who were repressed for thousands of years. But the former ruling class – the military, religious, and corporate leaders who profited under the old system—are about to stage a last-ditch effort to bring their good times back. The gods refuse to start a new war against those men, because that would make them no better than Their opponents. Instead, They have drafted three humans to help Them. Together, Tess, Sue and Darrell must find a way past their own flaws to ensure the gods' peace will not be destroyed.

Harvest’s in… Sue faces the biggest challenge of her career: she has three weeks to raise millions of dollars for research into a supergrain that promises to end world hunger. But ayalendo has some distressing—even dangerous—qualities. And Lucifer means to exploit them to control the world’s food supply and become a god at last. When Tess learns the identity of the shady corporation pushing ayalendo’s development, she realizes her own livelihood may be in jeopardy. She and Darrell embark on a cross-country journey to her parents’ farm to gather information for a congressional committee investigating the ayalendo project. The gods are bringing in some big guns to help. But it will be up to Sue, Tess, and Darrell to defeat Lucifer, once and for all.
