Prepare for an epic adventure that crackles with myth, legend, royalty, and Maya folklore!
Golden Globe nominee, Emmy and Tony Award winner, John Leguizamo, brings his signature storytelling to this vibrant fantasy starring a warrior princess on a quest to find what's been stolen from her. As she takes each step on her heart-pumping journey, Ixque holds tight to her family's legacy of the scepter and the crown. Will she survive the dangers, the monsters, the living map that reveals her destiny?
In a lush kingdom overflowing with corn, cacao, potatoes, and chia, twin sister and brother Ixque and Hunahpu are born under a powerful omen. Unknown to them, the ancient spirit gods have marked the twins as the future guardians of their people's prosperity.
Ixque doesn't believe she and Hunahpu are the Hero Twins of Palenque, destined to defeat Ah Puch -- the evil god of the Underworld. The prophecy says two princes will restore peace in the One World, but Ixque is a princess, and Hunahpu needs a stick to walk. They can't be the ones to save the Middleworld, but everything changes when the queen is murdered and the prince is kidnapped. Ixque suddenly becomes the one who must take her father's Scepter and embark on a dangerous quest to save what she values most: her family and her kingdom. Will she reach the place where the Crown awaits?
