In The
Well of Sacrifice, a Mayan girl in ninth-century Guatemala rebels against the High
Priest who sacrifices anyone challenging his power. 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.”
Eveningstar Macaw would never challenge the power of the
Mayan government – until the King dies. To secure power, an evil high priest
sacrifices anyone who challenges him. 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
