Zyanya: Always and Forever is the beginning of a three-book saga that takes place in a central Mexican rainforest. Zyanya is the name of the prosperous coffee plantation that Severo Alba founded. Former shaman and now deceased, Severo's lineage was chosen to bear and raise the child who would one day become the Great Shaman, fulfilling a 550-year-old prophecy.

Now the ancient prophecy's time has come, when a great Shaman shall rise against evil, combining the power and wisdom of the most influential shamans in all the tribes. It is Jairo, Alba's great-grandson's time. Having been raised in Texas, away from Zyanya and the prophecies, 17-year-old Jairo is completely unaware of his legacy.

Marcela and the Arcoverdes do their best to let Woody focus on the fight, but his instincts are too sharp. The family is in trouble. Carrasco, crime lord of the notorious, sprawling Rio slum Axila da Serpente, has taken a liking to Marcela.
