On the ocean shore, Maya finds a clay shard and is transported ten thousand years ago, to a primitive era. This is a cruel world where human sacrifice is common. During one of the rituals, a stranger names Maya as his chosen one. The ancient language has no words to express love. Does this mean that Nuatl men are incapable of love at all? Maya will have to deal with the traditions and history of these lands and understand why she ended up on these distant shores.
