New December 2011
Pursued by a
sheriff, then a relentless band of bounty hunters, Luke flees with his
captive, a beautiful young woman, farther and farther into old Mexico
until he becomes lost in the uncharted jungles where Mayan ruins lay
hidden under the green canopy. There he comes upon a hidden tribe of
natives who fled the coming of Cortez and have been hiding ever since,
keeping their old ways alive. But those old ways included the sacrificing
of young maidens atop a stone altar at the first light of dawn on special
holy days.
Susan is taken
from him by a wicked white man who has been accepted into the tribe
because his cruelty matched their own. At his hands and those of the
sadistic natives, she undergoes torture and anguish so her pain will
please their gods. She is bound, whipped, tormented and used in sexually
abnormal ways to please both the gods and the lust of men.
And as her
suffering continues, she is aware that the day is drawing close when her
whipmarked and battered body will be sacrificed.
