Plot Summary

15 years after escaping human sacrifice and saving his family, Jaguar Paw now lives hidden deep within the lush, uncharted jungles of the Yucatán. But peace is fleeting.

As Spanish conquistadors land on Mesoamerican shores—bringing fire, steel, and disease—Jaguar Paw finds himself caught in the violent collision of two worlds.

When his village is razed and his people enslaved, he must rise once again—not just as a survivor, but as a leader of resistance against an unstoppable empire.

Haunted by visions of gods and blood-soaked omens, Jaguar Paw begins a journey into the heart of both civilization and savagery, where he’ll uncover secrets buried beneath sacred temples… and within himself.

“This time, the apocalypse isn’t coming. It’s already here.”
