Synopsis
Pieces of jade kept finding Amy Parrish. In the mail. Passed by strangers. Rare, polished jade from Guatemala that were left in secret but intended to unlock one.
The California archaeologist soon discovered that together they were the key to deciding which of two competing Mayan bloodlines would lead the way into the coming Sixth World. That Amy's worldwide trips to prepare the world for the new age were tarnished by an ancient manuscript that portended the ugly battle between Umoxtl and Xarantu.
"We will all die if I do not face them," Xarantu muttered. "There will be no Sixth World."
Follow Parrish as she struggles to decipher the manuscript's secrets and piece together bits of jade in a race against time before the trial begins. The young heir to the new kingdom is kidnapped, and a culminating battle inspired by the evil Xibalbans from the Mayan creation story tips the world onto the brink of darkness and chaos.
