A young anthropologist from Minnesota searches for the Sacred Cape of the Red Jaguar deep in the Venezuelan rain forest. Kidnapped and sold to a tribal chief who sees her as the fulfillment of the prophecy surrounding the cape, she is rescued by a dark-haired, green-eyed doctor who happens to be a powerful shaman. As a dormant volcano explodes, the two of them race toward safety down the treacherous Rio Caroni. But a deeper mystery awaits them. Shamanic attacks by a dark sorcerer push them toward a discovery in the Inca Temple of the Sun, five hundred years and fifteen hundred miles from where it should be in Cusco, Peru. Deep in the tunnels under the gold-covered Solar Drum, they make a discovery that could not only solve an ancient mystery, but change lives, and shatter beliefs--and are given a mission that will affect the Earth and put them in danger from those who wish to stop them.
