Fantasy

What would you do if everyone thought you were a god? Young Juliaiin Escobar is traveling to the New World to spread the gospel to the newly discovered Mayan Empire when a hurricane strikes his ship, scattering its contents to the four winds and leaving Julian as the sole survivor. After struggling ashore, he encounters a young Mayan woman who is shocked at his presence. Soon he learns why. Centuries ago the fair-skinned Mayan god Kukulcaiin - the Feathered Serpent - sailed away with the promise that one day he would return. With his very life at stake, Juliaiin does the unimaginable: he begins to impersonate this returned god.
