Navigate through monsters, mysteries, and the will of the gods with
two young extraordinary adventurers in fifteenth-century Mesoamerica as
they search for a missing father.
Donají is a fearless Zapotec girl who, even though she's only fifteen,
is heralded as a hero by her village. In Codex Black, Donají sets out
on an adventure--accompanied by the god that lives inside of her
poncho--to find her missing father. Along the way, she meets a
17-year-old winged Mexica warrior named Itzcacalotl, and over time their
temporary partnership blooms into an incredible friendship.
The search brings the young pair closer to danger and deeper into
mystery than either could have predicted. What exactly was Donají's
father involved with? And how did a simple search for a missing relative
lead Donají and Itzcacalotl into a fight with a terrifying bat monster
to defend an entire village?!
