A Mexican folk hero with supernatural courage. A mysterious stone with the power to raise the dead. And an ancient Aztec legend that foretold of their meeting - and the chaos that would follow.Pancho Villa is the Centaur of the North, the Cockroach that Cannot Be Killed, the hero of the Mexican people - and he's losing the revolution. Short on soldiers and weapons, Villa makes a plea to Xipe Totec, the Aztec god of gold who seems to answers his request by way of a strange stone pyramid that has the power to raise the dead. Villa doesn't know what the stone is or where it comes from, and he doesn't care so long as it helps him win the revolution and protect the future of his newborn son, Panchito. But what Villa doesn't realize is that the Aztec gods are tricksters, and what they demand in return will destroy everything Villa has fought for.
