Description
In the age when Maya demigods prepared the world for humans, two of those demigods, twins Hunahpu and Xbalanke, are given a mission by their mother: rescue their father and uncle from Xibalba, the Land of the Dead.
The twins must follow in the path of their father and uncle, who lost to Xibalba’s royalty. They must use all their cleverness, including their magic of song and connection to the animals, to outwit the denizens of the Realm of Fright: mosquitos, macaws, fireflies, and more come to the twins’ aid as they spend nights in fright and days playing ball with royalty.
But sometimes, even wit cannot save a demigod. Sometimes, there is a Magic Primeval that has even bigger plans for heroes such as these twins.
