A brutal priest. A forbidden love. A shattered world where ancient gods still whisper.

In the dark heart of colonial Mexico, a fanatical inquisitor named Diego de Landa wages a holy war to purge the land of its ancient spirits and pagan rites. But when he crucifies a young monk for the crime of love, he unleashes a chain of events that will awaken the rage of forgotten gods—and the power of the last native shamans.

From the deserts of the north to the jungles of the south, sacred names echo under the moon: Eyérúame, Xarátanga, Ixchel, Coyolxauhqui. In whispered prayers and hidden rituals, scattered guardians prepare to rise.

But will it be enough to stop a man whose faith is as sharp as a blade—and twice as deadly?

Fierce, lyrical and unapologetically rooted in indigenous mythology, this epic historical horror novel will drag you into the blood-soaked clash between colonization and resistance, faith and fire, flesh and spirit.
