When he sets his sights on Eveningstar’s family, she fights back. Kirkus Reviews called The Well of Sacrifice, “[An] engrossing first novel…. The novel shines not only for a faithful recreation of an unfamiliar, ancient world, but also for the introduction of a brave, likable and determined heroine.”

“Set against the vivid background of everyday life at the height of the Mayan golden age and illustrated with striking paintings, Eveningstar’s candid, gripping and not-for-the-faint-of-heart account of the last days of a great city will have readers at the edge of their seats.” Clarion

“This exciting, fast-paced tale, narrated by an amazingly courageous and convincing heroine, is rich with details of ninth-century Mayan life and replete with drama and suspense.” –book flap
