Zane agrees, trying to impress Brooks, and she explains to him that "myths are real" and the volcano is actually a centuries-old prison for the Mayan god of death, whose destiny is linked to Zane's. Soon after the accident, a mysterious girl named Brooks appears at Zane's doorstep, demanding that she and Zane meet up at the volcano. One day, while discovering new cracks and creases in the mountain, a small airplane crashes into it, disturbing Zane and his three-legged dog Rosie. In The Shadow Crosser, Zane and his friends embark on their most treacherous mission yet–a mission that, with one blunder, could change history as we know it, and worse, destroy the universe.Zane Obispo's favorite activity to partake in when he's not at school is exploring the sleeping volcano in his own backyard. There might be a way to save the gods, but it involves locating a magical calendar that can see across time and space … not to mention traveling more than thirty years into the past.

Zane knows the godborns aren't strong enough yet to stand up to Zotz, Ixkik', and their army. The only thing the villains need now? The object that the twins possess. The bat god, Camazotz, and Ixkik' (aka Blood Moon) have taken them out of commission … and the godborns are their next target. Even more shocking is the news that the Maya gods have gone missing. After a shocking betrayal, Zane finds himself at SHIHOM sooner than expected. But when Zane tracks down the last kid on his list, he's in for a surprise: the "one" is actually a pair of twins, and they're trying to prevent a mysterious object from falling into the wrong hands. Anything would be better than how he has spent the last three months: searching for the remaining godborns with a nasty demon who can sniff them out (literally). You will meet the scariest gods you can imagine, the creepiest denizens of the Underworld, and the most amazing and unlikely heroes who have to save our world from being ripped apart."–Rick Riordan Zane Obispo has been looking forward to his training at the Shaman Institute for Higher Order Magic, and not only because it means he'll be reunited with his best friend, Brooks. Cervantes is about to take you on a trip you will never forget, through the darkest, strangest, and funniest twists and turns of Maya myth.
