The Well of Sacrifice
Includes all Three Books:
The Captive
The Feathered Serpent
The Amethyst Ring
What would you do if everyone thought you were a god?
Young JuliáÌn 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 KukulcáÌn—the Feathered Serpent—sailed away with the promise that one day he would return. With his very life at stake, JuliáÌn 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:
"JuliáÌn'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.
