An Incan mystery across the Andes

A map to the lost tomb of Atahualpa draws Los Angeles archaeologist Santiago Rios into a race across the Andes, where tomb raiders are after the emperor’s treasure. Ali, a Peruvian woman with secrets tied to the map, becomes central to the search. Ancient riddles, a restless spirit, and a curse connect the modern-day adventure to the history of the last Incan emperor, while Santiago and Ali’s growing attraction adds a romantic thread. The setup brings together archaeological clues, supernatural danger, and a journey shaped by the legacy of the Inca past.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

Book overview

The stories we're told aren't myths. They're warnings.

Santiago Rios didn't plan to leave his quiet life in Los Angeles. But when his grandfather sends him a map to the lost tomb of the final Incan emperor, the young archaeologist is thrust into a brutal race across the Andes, pursued by ruthless tomb raiders who will stop at nothing to steal the emperor's treasure.

His only hope is Ali, a fierce Peruvian woman whose secrets could unlock Santiago's map--or spell his doom. The closer they grow, the more certain Santiago becomes. Ali is trouble...just the kind of trouble he likes.

To save their world, Santiago and Ali must solve ancient riddles, outwit deadly enemies, and lay a spirit to rest before it's too late. Because if they fail, the past won't stay buried--and neither will the curse.

Based on the true history of Atahualpa, the last emperor of the Inca people, indie sensation Natalia Hernandez delivers a powerhouse romantasy adventure set in the modern day.
