How can a girl with no memory hope to survive being hunted in a strange city full of monsters? Masked people are hunting her, demanding a key, and Maya doesn't know anything about it. Even as she ends up living with five monster guys, she doesn't know who to trust. She barely knows her own name.

What If Everything You Thought You Knew About the Maya Was Wrong? They did not vanish. They did not mysteriously disappear. And the jungle did not swallow them because the gods were angry. The real story is far more gripping and far more urgent. You have heard the legend: a brilliant civilization of astronomers and pyramid-builders, lost to the rainforest under mysterious circumstances. But what if that legend is a comfortable simplification of a much darker and more fascinating truth? What if the Maya collapse was not a sudden apocalypse, but a slow unraveling driven by forces that sound ...

The Maya did not vanish. Their cities did. Around 750 CE, the Classic Maya world was at its height. Tikal, Calakmul, Palenque, Copán, and Caracol commanded populations in the tens of thousands. Divine kings tracked the planets with an accuracy Europe would not match for seven centuries, waged dynastic wars across the jungle, and raised limestone pyramids that still rise above the canopy today. Within 150 years, almost all of it was gone. The courts emptied. The inscriptions stopped. The rainforest moved back in. This is the story of how that happened — and why eight million Maya people ...

The greatest city in the ancient Americas kept one secret better than any other: who ran it. Around the year 400, a planned metropolis of perhaps 125,000 people stood in the highlands northeast of modern Mexico City — bigger than Rome's rivals, gridded like a modern capital, dominated by pyramids on a scale nothing in Europe could match. Its obsidian moved across Mesoamerica. Its warriors toppled a royal dynasty seven hundred miles away. And yet we do not know what its people called it, what language they spoke, or the name of a single ruler. Even “Teotihuacan” is borrowed — the ...
