When an earthquake strikes the oldest public library in the Americas, a young historian and an art collector begin a quest for ancient, hidden testimonies that lead to a radical new understanding of the human body in the natural landscape. Putting a new spin on legends such as El Dorado and the Fountain of Youth, Will Forest leads his readers on a beautifully written, thrilling adventure from Mexico to Brazil and into the pre-Columbian past. Forest artfully blends fast-paced historical and speculative fiction with compelling characters, arresting imagery, a strong body-positive message, and an unforgettable climax.
