The
King's Gold
One look at the centuries-old document she receives from a
mysterious stranger is all it takes to plunge Lola Sanchez—a
brilliant bibliophile and owner of the Red Lion bookshop—into
the adventure of an already adventurous lifetime. The ancient
writings tell of a stolen fortune in Montezuma's gold—and
of the thief's transformation from conquistatore to alchemist
. . . to werewolf.
Riches beyond imagining possibly await the stalwart
globe-trotter who can solve the intricate riddles hidden in
the artifact's crumbling pages. But a deadly curse is buried
there as well. On a dangerous quest through the dark shadows
of history, Lola and her dashing companion, Eric, will have
to unravel the twisted strands of her own family's fantastical
past—and stay a step ahead of the villainous treasure
hunters who would eagerly kill for the secrets she possesses
and the Aztec gold she seeks.
