"When stubborn Donaji of Quie Yelaag turns fifteen, she vows to leave home on an epic quest. Accompanied by the god Chicahualizteotl who inhabits her poncho, she sets out to discover the truth about her father, who hasn't been seen since he vanished from their village years before. Along the way, she run into Itzcacalotl, a Mexica warrior with wings! As their temporary partnership blooms into an incredible friendship, Donaji and Itzcacalotl find themselves beset by beasts, thieves, and even capricious gods. Could there be more to their journey--and the mystery of Donaji's father--than meets the eye?"--Back cover.

From the publisher:
Navigate through monsters, mysteries, and the will of the gods with two young extraordinary adventurers in fifteenth-century Mesoamerica as they search for a missing father. Donaji is a fearless Zapotec girl who, even though she's only fifteen, is heralded as a hero by her village. In Codex Black, Donaji sets out on an adventure--accompanied by the god that lives inside of her poncho--to find her missing father. Along the way, she meets a 17-year-old winged Mexica warrior named Itzcacalotl, and over time their temporary partnership blooms into an incredible friendship. The search brings the young pair closer to danger and deeper into mystery than either could have predicted. What exactly was Donaji's father involved with? And how did a simple search for a missing relative lead Donaji and Itzcacalotl into a fight with a terrifying bat monster to defend an entire village?!
