Thirteen-year-old Daniel just got adopted. But when he learns his new family wants him as a slave, he runs away with the help of his neighbors: the naive and cowardly Ben, and Raylin, a street-smart girl with impressive martial arts skills. He begins to second-guess his decision, however, when the cave they hide in transports them to the ruins of Machu Picchu, where the companions find themselves embroiled in a battle between ancient gods of life and death. To top things off, the God of Life draws Daniel into the fray by adopting him as his son and setting him on a quest to complete a broken, mystical sword-a task that pits him against the god of the underworld and his nightmarish minions. Now, Daniel and his friends have just one weekend to find the shards before a horde of supernatural enemies catches up. But that's not all they face. The god of death has a surprising connection to Daniel's past and knows where he's most vulnerable.
