Sisimito

Molly Cervantez and Sergeant Eutimio (Stephen) Chiac are once again hurled into the dangerous and mysterious world of Sisimito (Mahanamatz), the Cockscomb Basin, and the Maya Mountains, Belize. As Eutimio tries to rescue Molly from the dreaded Sisimito, he enters the darkness and evil wonder of the Maya Underworld and has to use the wit and cunning of the Hero Twins, the gods Hunahpu and Xbalanque, if he is to escape the City of Xibalba and the Death Gods, and continue his mission to save his future wife, Molly. He has to survive many trials including those of the six houses of the Cavern of Trials: Dark House, Rattling or Cold House, the House of Bats, Jaguar House, Razor House, and Hot House. Then he must escape Xibalba through the dreaded River of Scorpions in order to return to the Surface world, U Wach Ulew.

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 among 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.
