Some bloodlines can't be outrun.

Niki Balam traded her Mayan father's ancient stories for law books and logic-until terrifying nightmares about her twin sister force her into the depths of the Guatemalan jungle.

At the remote archaeological site of Choja q'eq, her sister Nayla has disappeared, leaving behind only questions and the unsettling presence of Zen Cazares. Golden-eyed and dangerous, Zen is everything Niki's ordered world has taught her to avoid-wild, untamed, and carrying secrets that could unravel everything she believes about reality.

But when supernatural forces begin hunting them through the jungle and a malevolent shaman rises to claim an ancient power, Niki realizes Zen might be the only one who can help her navigate a world where ancient Mayan gods still demand blood and sacrifice.

The Mayan god of death Hun-Came is stirring, and his hunger-for power, for blood-will not be denied.
