Sergeant Chiac
continues his march into one of the greatest epics of the Americas, into the
Maya World of U Wach Ulew (The Surface World) after escaping from the
Underworld city of Xibalba and the Death Gods and Demon Lords. As he continues
his search for Xch’úup Xma’ K’aaba’ (Molly Cervantez), who was kidnapped by the
dreaded Mahanamtz (Sisimito) on their Wedding Day, he is forced to face the
dangers of the mysterious and violent land, earthquakes, a hurricane, volcanic
eruptions, the armies of enemy Warriors, and the enchantments of Mahanamtz and
his Kechelaj Komon and Kechelaj Jupuq. Yet, amidst all the trials and dangers,
he is able to secure great friendships amongst the Warriors who fight beside
him. Finally, in the Battle for Topoxte, he faces Mahanamtz, his enchanted
Warriors, and Xch’úup Xma’ K’aaba’ in a battle involving four kingdoms and the
strange forces of good and evil, a battle that could be the beginning of the
Fall of an Empire.
