Diego 從來不相信 abuelo 說的那些古老故事：神祇、怪物，以及流傳在墨西哥歷史中的神祕魔法。直到十二歲這年，他真的被傳說中的怪獸追趕，才發現阿茲特克神話並沒有消失，而其中的力量正逐漸闖入現代世界。
當神祕生物包圍住處，abuelo 的狗 Cholo 竟突然開口說話，揭開 Quetzal 與兄弟 Tezca 延續數百年的爭鬥。如今 Tezca 正召集大軍，唯一能阻止他的 Quetzal 卻下落不明。Diego 只好和 Violeta、Cholo，以及一隻聒噪的橡膠雞和嗜血小貓進入危險迷宮。本書由 Pura Belpré Award 得獎作家打造，將墨西哥城日常生活與阿茲特克神話交織成節奏緊湊的中階小說冒險。

From the Pura Belpré Award–winning author of Lola comes an action-packed middle grade fantasy where Aztec mythology crashes into everyday life. When twelve-year-old Diego discovers ancient gods are real, he must journey into a deadly labyrinth to stop a vengeful power before it destroys the world.
Diego never believed his abuelo's stories of gods and monsters and the ancient magic woven through Mexican history. Not until he finds himself sprinting down a dark hallway, chased by a beast straight out of lore—its fur as coarse as iron and five human hands clawing furiously at his throat.
Turns out, the myths are real, and their magic is erupting into Diego's world. As shadowy creatures besiege his apartment, abuelo's dog Cholo fixes Diego with a human gaze and speaks. Cholo reveals they've been unwittingly ensnared in a centuries-old rivalry between the great God Quetzal and his ruthless brother Tezca. Tezca is rising, summoning an army of minions, while Quetzal, the only one strong enough to stop him, has vanished.
Humanity hangs by a thread, and Diego has no choice but to enter Quetzal’s labyrinth—accompanied by his friends Violeta and Cholo, a sassy rubber chicken, and a bloodthirsty kitten—to face a power older than civilization itself.
The stakes are legendary, but maybe, deep down, Diego is too.
