An ancient curse. Time-traveling Mayans. A fabled fortune. Can Lauren save the world from an apocalypse foretold for centuries?

Newlywed, pregnant, and unable to travel, Lauren Grayson sends her husband, Rowan, and their team to investigate the Mayan End-of-Days for her television show, The VeritasCodex. They encounter decaying skeletons, cryptic monoliths-and a secret saboteur with his eye on ancient treasures. He’s willing to resort to anything-including murder.

Lauren falls ill, becomes feverish, and exhibits erratic, inexplicable behavior. She has a vision involving an ancient queen about to be sacrificed, and Lauren somehow draws her into the modern era. Could this woman be the fabled Jaguar Queen-the Goddess Who Fell from the Sky? While Rowan deals with threats to his team, Lauren uncovers shocking truths-and the saboteur launches plans that put her in deadly danger.

Can Lauren save herself, her team, and the world? Can she discover the hidden forces she needs to avert a catastrophic conclusion? Can the prophesied doomsday be averted?
