Overview

Kirkus Reviews' Best Indie Books of 2019 - An excellent tale that serves as both a thriller and anthropological portrait. There is a rebellion stirring in the jungle village of Ppentaca. Totec, a former slave, has cultivated a force of 500 warriors. He intends to invade the Feathered Kingdom in the valley and ignite a slave uprising in the capital city of Ocochac, where the slaves outnumber their masters. But first they must slay a child to win the favor of the gods. Ixmal, Totec's son, tries to stop the blood ritual, creating a chain of events that will reach Biblical proportions. Set in an ancient, magical land, Love Thief, the Legend of Ixmal the Healer, is a fable that draws upon the myths, cultures and languages of the indigenous peoples of the Americas to create a world unlike any other.
