Jill Moss is gathering the scattered pieces of her life back together after her husband's death when she receives the alarming message that her uncle has disappeared. Neil Bryant, a renowned archaeologist, has unearthed an artifact that could turn the conventional belief about New World exploration on its head. And there are people who will stop at nothing to prevent it. Forced into hiding, Neil separates the pieces of the Mayan treasure and sends them to trusted colleagues around the world, then calls on Jill Moss to collect them one by one. Jill finds herself on the run through steaming jungles, glittering European cities, and secret hideaways, barely able to stay ahead of her pursuers. Encounters with some of the world's foremost authorities on ancient cultures ignite her passion for the mission as the artifact gradually reveals the key to hidden mysteries and long-sought-after truths. Yet, all along she is shadowed by a mysterious Spaniard who makes her wounded heart come to life again. The only problem is: whose side is he on?
