Tornado researcher Victoria meets a man who might change not only her life, but her entire conception of reality.
It all begins with footprints...
Victoria discovers an impossible set of footprints in a muddy field near Memphis--they indicate that a man walked away unharmed after being engulfed by the full fury of a twister. A year later, Victoria finds an identical set of mysterious tracks in Kansas and becomes obsessed with finding this odd wanderer.
When she finally does find Ben Fulgar, Victoria can't believe her own eyes or his improbable story--he claims to have wandered the earth for centuries, from tornado to tornado. She'll risk her life to prove to herself that the world operates according to rational rules. During their adventures on the prairie, their relationship intensifies into a love that will be challenged by the ultimate forces of nature.
