Earrings
of Ixtumea
Fourteen-year-old
Lupe Hernandez dismisses the legend about her Mexican grandmother's
magical earrings as a silly fairytale, despite recurring nightmares
of human sacrifice. But when the earrings thrust her into the
parallel world of Ixtumea, she must confront the very thing
she shuns the most -- her cultural heritage.
Lupe's journey
takes her through a dense Mayan jungle to the damp underground
kingdom of Malvado, where a rebel leader plots to keep her from
fulfilling her destiny. She is guided by a hot warrior protector
named Teancum, who tells her about a prophecy of a long-awaited
young prophetess - which happens to be Lupe. She trains with
the Spider Goddess, who teaches her the sacred knots that bind
both worlds together, and she meets her long-lost mother, Concha,
who is now a dangerous enemy. Life as Lupe knows it will never
be the same!
