“Join me on a journey to the Maya underworld, where we will meet two brothers who must prove their worth against the lords of Xibalba. Our next stop will be the heavens, where we will witness Ixchel, the moon goddess, drawn into a perilous conspiracy that threatens her very existence. Finally, we will encounter Maestro Almendro, a Maya healer who loses his soul to a greedy merchant but finds redemption through the kindness of a humble slave woman.” – Storyteller Carolina Quiroga
