Book description
The New World, 1545...
Vanquished by the Spanish Empire, little remains of the Aztec and
Mayan civilizations. From the ashes of their cities, a unified legend
emerges: the Christians who conquered them possessed a mysterious
object, an artifact so powerful-so deadly-that it was known throughout
the Americas as "the death relic."
Yucatan Peninsula, present day...
When Maria Pelati's research team disappears in Mexico, Jonathon
Payne and David Jones embark on a perilous mission to find the missing
archaeologists. The duo quickly finds a link between the group's work
and its recent disappearance. Following the clues left behind, the duo
tries to solve one of the darkest mysteries of the new world, but
their quest for the relic might cost them their lives.
