When Aria and Liam travel back to Paititi, the legendary Golden City of the Incas, they uncover a devastating truth: the Sun Disk, the powerful artifact keeping the city hidden from the Conquistadors, has been stolen. With the city now exposed, its survival hangs by a thread.

Mistaken for envoys of the sun god Inti, Aria and Liam are sent on a dangerous quest alongside the Chief’s children to recover the Sun Disk. Their journey leads them deep into the Amazon rainforest and straight into Cielomar, a Spanish-controlled city where one wrong move could expose everything. Their only chance of survival? Convincing the Conquistadors they belong there.

Thousands of lives are at stake. Can Aria, Liam, and their new friends recover the Sun Disk before the Conquistadors find Paititi and plunder everything the Incas hold sacred?

Blending fast-paced action with history, this book is ideal for readers aged 8 to 12 who enjoy adventures, friendship, humor, and mystery.

❝ Besides learning to be a great actor, the most important lesson I gained was about those individuals who relentlessly chase power and wealth, regardless of their impact on others. Their behavior used to confuse me, but we eventually figured it out. And you know what? No matter how much riches they have, it’s nothing compared to the value of a strong and caring community! ❞

❝ Oh man, this was so funny! A wise spiritual leader once told us that when you encounter someone who thinks they’re better than everyone else, just keep flattering them, and you’ll definitely get what you want. And you know what? It actually worked! But the best part was when we turned the tables and gave them a taste of their own medicine. It was epic! ❞
