The reader is introduced to this magical world through Zane’s experiences and we as the reader root for our hero because everything that Zane feels is what the reader can connect with.Ĭervantes made our protagonist impulsive, but exceptional at working with a variety of individuals to achieve the best possible goal. Cervantes has crafted a well-written story that despite being cloaked in the mythology of the Maya gods is focused on the growth and development of Zane. Zane is angry that his father will be killed by the gods who have also broken the sacred oath, and this motivator is what sends Zane, his uncle Hondo, his friend Brooks, and hellhound Rosie on a journey through hell. To make matters worse Zane’s father, the Maya god Hurakan, is to be executed by the other Maya gods for breaking the sacred oath to not sire anymore children with humans. Zane was forced to be truthful, but he secretly placed his own magic in the book which helped awaken the magic inside other godborn kids, and Ren was one of those readers. Startled by the appearance of a girl named Ren on his island hideaway, Zane and his friends are forced to leave the protection of the island and set out on a quest that could kill Zane if he is not careful.Īt the conclusion of events in The Storm Runner, the gods forced Zane to write out what happened to him in his battle with the god of death Ah-Puch. Zane is in hiding thanks to the magic of Ixtab, goddess of the underworld.
Cervantes introduced her hero Zane Obispo only a year ago in The Storm Runner and helped young readers fall in love with Zane and friends and the Maya mythology. The Fire Keeper is an actioned packed, white-knuckle ride of a read, with a love of family and friends as the core message of the story.
