Griffin Stone, a Seminole Indian and an anthropology professor at Florida State University is looking for a way to save the world from a foretold disaster. From the sink holes and cave systems of Florida, from the depths of the Everglades to the jungles of Guatemala, Soul Taker is a white knuckle ride filled with suspense and heroes to cheer for. Legends say a Mayan sacrificial knife called Soul Taker contains all the souls it has gathered through human sacrifice. Griffin Stone finds the blade in a sinkhole. A priest and an artifact dealer each want the blade. After finding the blade, Stone gathers his team to discover its purpose. Stone and his team get to work to discover the purpose of the blade, where it came from and how to use it. Stone's techie buddy gets kidnapped by a crazy priest who believes he is the reincarnation of King Pacal from ancient Mayan history. The priest also steals the Soul Taker blade, so the team packs up and heads for Guatemala. The chase ends inside a dormant volcano which leads to a hidden Mayan city. With time running out, they better move fast because they are about to find out what the end of the world looks like . . .
