A lone jaguar shifter. A magic user in trouble. Evil humans bring them together. Jagger Casley is part of a supernatural community, but as a solitary animal, he likes to keep his distance from everything and everyone. He puts all his effort into his struggling restaurant, but when a group of humans try to blackmail him, he realizes he has bigger problems than a failing business. All Ty Hickey wanted was to get to the community in Myrfolk and find a home within the walls, but the moment he steps off the train, he’s captured by a group of men who shouldn’t know where he is or that he’s a magic user, and yet they do. Ty’s captors use his sister as leverage to get him to do their bidding, but when he meets Jagger, he sees his chance to get rescued. Magic users are rare, and Jagger can’t leave Ty with the humans. He’s better off coming home with Jagger, right?

A pair of large, yellow slanted eyes stares at him from the jungle. A low throaty growl fills the air as the massive jaguar of almost 450 lbs of sinew and muscle and 8 feet from tip to tail slowly moves towards him. Its rusty-red coat is adorned with large black rosettes with their characteristic pattern of a single large spot surrounded by smaller ones. He should run but is riveted to the spot, transfixed by the slowly approaching engine of destruction. It reaches him and sniffs him closely, growls, and then rubs against his naked thigh like a house cat. He touches its soft, bristle like fur, marveling at the raw beauty and brute strength of the compact, muscular body. The jaguar suddenly moves and in a blur, disappears into the jungle. He follows running, his eyesight so acute that he can literally see in the dark. When he looks down at his feet, they are no longer feet but paws with long, sharp claws. His slanted teardrop shaped eyes glow a deep amber gold color and his massive chest emits a growl in response to his brethren’s call.

Sky Knife is a young man cursed with an unlucky name - a name his mother saw in a vision and pledged that her son would bear, to honor whatever destiny the gods had decreed. He hasn't the luck to take one of the usual paths charted for his people: farmer, soldier, merchant - all these roads are closed to him. The only hope for him lies in service at the King's Temple, where - he hopes - the gods will make clear his purpose in the world. But as a novice priest he has little hope of fulfilling his destiny. That is, until a human sacrifice goes horribly wrong, priests begin to die, and the skies fill with dangerous portents and visions. Magic of all sorts seems to cling to Sky Knife like a shroud, but if he is daring and lucky enough, he may just find out the answer - and, in doing so, win a place among his people. Sky Knife is a compelling and evocative portrait of ancient Mayan culture. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Based on a true story, The Jaguar's Heart brings to life the first encounter of Maya and European in the 16th century. It tells the story of Gonzalo Guerrero, a Spanish sailor shipwrecked on the coast of Yucatan in 1511, between Columbus' discovery of the Americas and Cortez' conquest of Mexico. Maya lords enslave Guerrero and his fellow castaways, but he eventually gains his freedom. Encountering Ix Chan Can, the beautiful younger sister of the Maya lord Nachan Can, Guerrero chooses to remain among her people and win her love. Guerrero earns renown in a war against Nachan Can's enemies, and finally Ix Chan Can's hand. After they have two children, the only other still-living castaway, the clergyman Jeronimo de Aguilar, brings word of Cortez' landing. Guerrero refuses to rejoin his countrymen, cleaving to his family. But with Aguilar as interpreter, Cortez conquers the Aztecs, and the Spaniards inevitably return to impose their rule and religion on the Maya. Nachan Can now demands that Guerrero fight, and at last accepting that he must do so to protect his family, Guerrero tragically stakes his life for his adoptive people against ever-mounting odds. The Jaguar's Heart reveals the struggle of a man caught between cultures and conflicting loyalties at a pivotal moment in the history of the Americas. It is a book with the captivating setting of Gary Jennings' Aztec and its sequels, yet which reveals the humanity of both Spaniard and Indian, and with the compelling theme of W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear's Contact: The Battle for America series.
