As a plague of the gods spreads throughout the world, two men face the end times on opposing sides of good and evil. It began as a death-defying ritual in the Yucaátn. Jonathon Roth and his family were pawns in an inconceivable endgame. Jacob Calakmul was its depraved and mystifying mastermind destined to fulfill an ancient prophecy, destroy the government, and bring about his personal Armageddon. Exposing the unbelievable truth to the authorities has made Roth's life a nightmare. Roth is under FBI protection in DC. His sons may be safe, but his wife has disappeared, and his daughter, Suki--a girl gifted with a special magic--is now Calakmul's captive. She and her father are the keys to making Calakmul's plot a horrifying reality. It's already in motion. A deadly plague released in Cozumel and rooted in ancient mythology will wipe out cities across the globe so fast it's impossible to imagine the near future. But Calakmul can. His prophesized end of days is here. And only Roth and Suki can stop it. To save their family, and all of humanity, what will Roth and his daughter risk? And what must they sacrifice in a final match with the ascending ruler of a terrifying new world order?

For Jonathon Roth and his family, a vacation in Cozumel became a nightmare. Pawns in a deadly ritual, Roth and his children barely escaped with their lives, and with the secrets of mastermind Jacob Calakmul. Calakmul's endgame: to fulfill the Jaguar Prophecies--the foretelling of an inevitable Armageddon, one that will destroy entire nations. The key to stopping it is to retrieve an ancient codex--if Roth can decipher it. From a museum in Dresden where the mysterious codex is on display to the Roths' Montana home in the dead of winter, no place is safe from Calakmul's reach. Obsessed with the legends of the magic of the Maya, Roth knows Calakmul's powers are real. Roth's own daughter possesses them too. As Calakmul and his henchmen close in, Roth and his children are running for their lives. In a prepper's lair in the Montana mountains, Roth must piece together a terrifying puzzle to stop an apocalyptic vision from coming true. If it's not already too late. Because the countdown to the end-time has already begun.

Even in the sweltering heat, the Roths feel a chill-and the fear that they haven't been invited to Villa Sara. They've been lured. But for what purpose? And to what end?From the ruins, a death cult is reborn. A prophecy to bring down Western civilization is being realized. As a legendary blood sport is engaged, the Roths themselves may need to call upon ancient powers if they're to survive, escape, and save the world from annihilation.
