Arthur Miller is a gifted metallurgical mage who would rather repair an engine or perfect a rack of ribs than attract attention. Helena commands the air with a quiet grace, while their children, Chloe and Toby, each carry dangerous abilities of their own. Their carefully hidden life begins to unravel when a visiting field geologist, Luke Dawson, arrives with a broken Jeep, an unusual curiosity about the land, and an unexpected connection to Chloe.
Then Arthur's attempt to improve a midnight barbecue sends a violet magical flare into the desert sky.
The Arcane Bureau notices.
As a determined investigator closes in, the Millers must protect their secret, keep Luke from discovering too much, and survive a rapidly escalating collision between ancient magic and ordinary family life. Amid surveillance, deception, desert danger, romance, and an increasingly complicated rib cook-off, Chloe and Luke find themselves drawn closer together.
In Dusty Springs, hiding magic is difficult enough. Hiding it from the people you are beginning to love may be impossible.

John Taylor is the author of The Sandhaven Sorcerers series. His writing brings together the heat and isolation of the American desert with hidden magic, family secrets, romance, and unexpected humor. In Sandstorms & Burnt Ribs, the ordinary routines of Dusty Springs conceal an extraordinary magical heritage, where barbecue smoke, broken-down vehicles, ancient powers, and dangerous enemies can collide in the same afternoon.
Taylor’s storytelling is driven by memorable characters and the contrast between the everyday and the impossible. Through the Miller family and the strange forces gathering around them, he creates a world where magic is something that must be hidden, family is something worth protecting, and even the quietest desert town may be standing on the edge of something much larger.
Sandstorms & Burnt Ribs is the first book in The Sandhaven Sorcerers, opening the door to a larger story beneath the ordinary life of Dusty Springs.
