When sixteen-year-old Shay Lark discovers a mysterious connection to an ancient sisterhood through her mother’s ring, she’s drawn into a centuries-old secret that could unleash a deadly supernatural force.

During a family trip to Mexico, Shay stumbles upon clues linking her family to the Great Pyramid of Cholula—and to a silver skull artifact created by the Mayan death deity Hunhau. With her best friends and a local boy named Mateo as her guide, Shay must navigate hidden passages beneath one of the world’s largest pyramids, decipher cryptic journals, and uncover why dangerous treasure hunters are willing to kill for the skull’s power.

But as Shay gets closer to the truth, she realizes that some artifacts were buried for a reason—and that her own destiny may be tied to an ancient order of guardians who have protected the world from darkness for centuries. Now she must choose: walk away and stay safe, or embrace her heritage and face a god who has waited hundreds of years for revenge.
