Deep in the jungle, an ancient power awakens. A young man desiring to prove himself looks to the great one before him. Conqueror. Father. Deity. In Necalli's world, life is a struggle of glory and sacrifice, and the youthful successor is ready to give everything he has to save his people. But his father, the venerated Ahau, is at heart a man not a god. And he's been keeping secrets. Dark, necromantic forces are rising, for the truth has been discovered. Necalli finds himself heir to a shrouded past, while facing a foe he cannot hope to defeat. Waiting in the dark recesses of time for a foretold promise. A weapon of unthinkable power. A beating heart with a burning fire within, struggling to answer the call. Worlds apart, yet drawn to one another. More than an ally yet less than a warrior.Together they must find the will to stand and fight or surrender once and for all to the dark ancient artifice desiring to destroy them.
