Serpent and Storm book. I love this character and his wit. I hope that there are more Sky Knife novels in the future. A Mayan youth was cursed with an unlucky name from birth. He is to be sent to the distant city-kingdom of Teotihuacan, to bring greetings and to reopen diplomatic ties with these strange people. From missed meetings to strange guides, corrupt counselors to a bizarre court, Sky Knife feels his world shafting dangerously out of balance.

Sky Knife tried to stand his ground, but the constant bustling of people kept knocking him off balance. Breathing heavily in near-panic, Sky Knife jerked away from the people and leaned against the smooth plastered white wall of a building. A tall thin man stepped out of the crowd.
