The Seven Serpents Trilogy

By Scott O'Dell

Includes all Three Books: The Captive The Feathered Serpent The Amethyst Ring What would you do if everyone thought you were a god? Young Julia´´n Escobar is traveling to the New World to spread the gospel to the newly discovered Mayan Empire when a hurricane strikes his ship, scattering its contents to the four winds and leaving Julian as the sole survivor. After struggling ashore, he encounters a young Mayan woman who is shocked at his presence. Soon he learns why. Centuries ago the fair-skinned Mayan god Kukulca´´n--the Feathered Serpent--sailed away with the promise that one day he would return. With his very life at stake, Julia´´n does the unimaginable: he begins to impersonate this returned god. PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY: "Spellbinding...unforgettable adventure." KIRKUS REVIEWS: "Swift and stunning, inevitable and unexpected." NEW YORK TIMES: "There's no better introduction to the rich and remote Mayan culture than through such a well-told tale." SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL: "Julia´´n's transformation from insecure human seminarian to pretend god is] remarkable." This exciting collector's edition contains all three books in the Seven Serpents Trilogy: The Captive , The Feathered Serpent and The Amethyst Ring .
