Description
Mayan king Bird Jaguar IV is dying; his heir is only a boy. The king's half-brother and his chief counselor are locked in conflict, each maneuvering to usurp the throne and become the next king. The novel is solidly based on archaeological evidence and the recent interpretation of the Mayan hieroglyphs found at Yaxchilan.
