The Lost Guardian sends a modern archaeologist across the Andes

Natalia Hernandez ties an Incan tomb hunt to romance, riddles and a restless spirit.

Red Tower Books lists October 6 for Natalia Hernandez’s The Lost Guardian, a 400-page fantasy adventure set in the modern day. The publisher identifies ebook ISBN 9781649379863 and provides an opening excerpt. Santiago Rios leaves his Los Angeles life after his grandfather sends him a map connected to the tomb of the

final Incan emperor. Tomb raiders pursue him across the Andes, while a Peruvian woman named Ali may hold the knowledge needed to decipher the map. Their journey combines an emerging romance with ancient riddles and a spirit that must be laid to rest. Entangled describes the story as drawing on the history of Atahualpa;

that is the novel’s stated inspiration, rather than a claim that its supernatural events are historical. Official source. Headline image: Entangled Publishing / Red Tower Books.
