Set in Apache Reservation in Northern New Mexico, Hollywood and Santa Fe, El Brujo is the life story of Pete Mondragon. With a Spanish father and an Apache mother, Pete was known as a coyote in New Mexico's Spanish community - a person of mixed blood. Apprenticed as a boy to Uncle Jack, a master shape shifter, Pete learns the coyote medicine. War and friendship bring Pete to New Orleans where his coyote medicine mixes with good old American Hoodoo. The combination proves potent as Pete uses his magic to build a wonderful life for himself in 1950's Hollywood, and on his ranch in Northern New Mexico. This is also the story of Maria Mondragon, a talented fashion photographer. Maria, who has inherited Pete's money and powers, uses her magic to become successful and wealthy. In her quest for fame and fortune, Maria seduces Santa Fe. However, the ghosts of the past refuse to lie in peace, and Maria soon discovers the price of her powers.
