I enjoyed this book so much it has inspired me to take a trip to Mexico to learn more about the Maya and visit some ancient sites. The story moves back and forth between the present and the Mayan past, linking the characters in a 'six degrees of separation' way. Once I met the ancient Maya priestess, Yalucha, I could not put the book down. The book has lots of information on the Maya...but it's the mystery, romance, and plot twists that really got me! I am now reading all the books I can find on the Maya and their calendar. This is a whole new area of knowledge I would never have known without reading this inspiring novel.
This novel captivates...I couldn't put it down!

An extremely well written novel that captures the essence of the ancient Maya, particularly their spiritual nature. This spiritual aspect is brought forward into the 21st century, as the story moves between our current times and periods of the ancient Maya civilizations. It is not only a very engaqing story, but a book with a tremendous amount of information about the Maya, and gives the reader a completely different picture of the Maya than the Mel Gibson movie, Apocolypto
