The fate of the world is in the hands of two men. One is prophesized to end it. The other must save it in an apocalyptic thriller by Wall Street Journal bestselling author Jeff Wheeler.

If the end-of-the-world prophecy is true, a vengeful descendant will reign with blood and fury. The planets are already aligning.

For Jonathon Roth and his family, a vacation in Cozumel became a nightmare. Pawns in a deadly ritual, Roth and his children barely escaped with their lives, and with the secrets of its mastermind, Jacob Calakmul. Calakmul’s endgame: to fulfill the Jaguar Prophecy—the foretelling of an inevitable Armageddon, one that will destroy entire nations. An ancient codex holds the key to stopping it. If Roth can decipher it.

From a museum in Dresden where a mysterious codex is on display to the Roths’ Montana home in the dead of winter, no place is safe from Calakmul’s reach. Obsessed with the legends of the magic of the Maya, Roth knows Calakmul’s powers are real. Roth’s own daughter possesses them too. As Calakmul and his henchmen close in, Roth and his children are running for their lives.

In a prepper’s lair in the Montana mountains, Roth must piece together a terrifying puzzle to stop an apocalyptic vision from coming true. If it’s not already too late. Because the countdown to the end-time has already begun.

Jeff Wheeler

Jeff Wheeler’s writing journey is as much about personal transformation as it is about the intricate worlds he weaves. Born in the heart of the Silicon Valley, Jeff was immersed in technology from a young age, a background that contrasts with the sweeping fantasy realms that now define his work. But the marriage of the two—his technical mind and his boundless creativity—has made him one of the standout authors in modern fantasy.

After earning degrees in history and business from San Jose State University, Jeff carved out a successful career at Intel Corporation, but his passion for storytelling never waned. What started as late-night writing sessions grew into something more. Inspired by fantasy legends like Terry Brooks’ The Elfstones of Shannara, Jeff realized that he had stories to tell—stories of magic, power, and deep emotional journeys.

In 2014, Jeff took a leap of faith and retired early from his corporate job, dedicating himself fully to his craft. This bold move led to the creation of his bestselling series, including The Muirwood Trilogy, The Kingfountain Series, and The Grave Kingdom Series. His books have sold millions of copies worldwide, resonating with readers drawn to their richly developed characters, complex political intrigues, and worlds that feel as tangible as they are imaginative. His work has been translated into several languages, extending his reach to fans around the globe.

At the core of Jeff’s writing is a fascination with what it means to grow, to struggle, and to rise. His protagonists often face overwhelming odds, grappling with both external enemies and internal conflicts. There’s always a sense of quiet strength in his characters, a resilience that mirrors his own journey from a tech professional to a full-time writer.

Beyond just writing, Jeff is also deeply involved in the literary community. He founded Deep Magic, an e-zine that focuses on clean fantasy and science fiction, fostering a space for writers and readers alike who share a love for uplifting, imaginative fiction.

Now living in the picturesque Rocky Mountains with his wife and five children, Jeff continues to write stories that captivate and inspire. Whether exploring the intricacies of magic in the Muirwood series or delving into the political machinations of the Kingfountain world, Jeff Wheeler's tales are as much about the power of human connection as they are about the fantastical adventures they take readers on. His work remains a testament to the power of dreams and the persistence required to bring them to life.
