Summary

Daniel, a young law student in Franco's Spain, sees his life turned upside down after an accident that places him at the center of a dangerous conspiracy. It all begins with a seemingly harmless wooden carving—a forgotten relic bearing Mayan symbols—that becomes the focus of a race against time that will take him all the way to Guatemala. 
In a country shaken by repression and the 1976 earthquake, Daniel will discover that his destiny is intertwined with ancient secrets, lost codices, and a past that returns to settle scores. Amidst escapes, betrayals, romantic encounters, and figures of hidden power, he must make decisions that will shape his life... while advancing in an intriguing chess game against an unknown opponent. 
A novel of adventure, mystery, and history, where every move matters and the board is the real world. Gripping, human, and surprising, Mayan Checkmate: The Last Move is an emotional and physical journey into the darkest corners of the past... and of the human soul.
Available since: 09/05/2025.
