About This Book

A professor of archaeology and a physiologist bring to England the desiccated body of an Inca prince whose features suggest suspended animation. A risky experiment restores his life, and his return awakens an ancient prophecy about a Son of the Sun and a sister-bride, setting in motion rival claims, treachery among allies, and a campaign to recover the city and the sacred rites. The narrative follows the prince's revival, the political and personal struggles for the Golden Throne, betrayals and battles, and the eventual re-establishment of ceremonial authority.
