From the Wikipedia article
Trail of Lightning is a 2018 fantasy novel, the debut novel by Rebecca Roanhorse. After a supernatural disaster destroys most of North America, Navajo monster-slayer Maggie Hoskie must navigate a post-apocalyptic world of monsters and Native American gods. The novel won the 2019 Locus Award for Best First Novel and was a finalist for the Hugo, World Fantasy, and Nebula awards. The novel introduces a number of Navajo-inspired names for Maggie's antagonists. Neizghání is the most important of these, serving as mentor and adversary.

Background
History
Rebecca Roanhorse began writing fantasy as a hobby while pursuing a career as a lawyer. She stated that when she was unable to find a science fiction or fantasy novel with a Native American protagonist, she decided to write one, saying in 2019 that many Native American fictional characters are portrayed as stuck in the past, and she wanted to use her novel to show Native characters as "alive and thriving". Roanhorse has said that she is of Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo descent through her mother's family, and African American on her father's side. When she began publishing and doing speaking engagements, others pointed out that she is not an enrolled member of any tribal community.
