Synopsis: The gates of a Hell that men called Xibalba lie open and the Gatekeepers are old and weakened by treason. So a call goes out to the world: Everyone who dares is called to compete against the cruel riddles posed by the Six Houses of Xibalba and vie to become the next Gatekeepers. But the price for failure is death.
"The Road to Xibalba" is the story of that competition.
