Lured by the mysterious Thousand Eyes, Itzel has entered the forbidden forest where the biggest secrets of the Underworld lie hidden. There’s one in particular that she wants to know—what has happened to her grandmother?
Inspired by the rich mythology and folktales of the Maya, "The Lord of the Underworld" is the second book of "The Jade Necklace", a story about a girl’s brave journey through the Underworld of Xibalba to find her grandmother and bring her home. Along the way she encounters ancient gods, wicked spirits, and curious critters like a pompous macaw shining as a false sun. But the Dead Queen is seeking her necklace to resurrect the sinister god of death and return Xibalba to the glory of its darker days.
