The world is ending, but hope isn't. Somewhere in Mexico City, a young musician finds himself caught between the chaos of the present and the whispers of something ancient. Forgotten gods stir, old stories bleed into new ones, and the lines between myth and reality blur.

Episode One is where it begins: a spark in the dark, a chance encounter, and an encounter with Huehuecoyotl that could change the course of fate.

I began writing The Sixth Sun while navigating health challenges that would leave me permanently disabled. In the middle of that journey, I even lost an eye. At the same time, I was watching the world around me shift: species vanishing, ecosystems unraveling, and the climate crisis accelerating. It was overwhelming. But through all of that, I kept writing. Because I needed hope.

The themes of resilience, defiance, and creativity in the face of collapse aren't abstract to me, they're survival. The Sixth Sun became a story where I could imagine something beyond despair, where even at the end of the world, people still find ways to create, to love, to resist. Now, I'm sharing that hope with others. This story isn't just about gods and myths… it's about us, about how we can still rise to meet the future, even when everything feels like it's falling apart.
