From the shadows of death, ancient magic rises...

A defiant princess. A desperate man. Ancient magic unites two unlikely allies, born centuries apart, in a struggle for survival.

The year is A.D. 562. Nineteen-year-old Ixchel is a Maya princess of Tikal who dreams of harnessing the magic of the gods. But her life is torn asunder when war erupts between Tikal and Caracol. She believes her dreams are shattered, but her incredible journey has just begun.

In the present, Mitch is a workaholic surgeon haunted by regret. On a medical mission in the jungles of Belize, he is attacked and left for dead. Caught between life and death, Mitch descends into the underworld where he discovers that ancient magic endures, and Ixchel alone can save him as he faces off against the demons of Xibalba.

But Mitch isn't the only one who needs saving...

From the shadows of death, ancient magic rises and transforms a man's ordinary life into a harrowing quest to save the woman he loves.

The Sky Place is a dazzling fantasy that interlaces historical fiction with modern life in a gripping blend of myth, magic, love, and war.
