BOOK ONE Quijote y Yo: Y El Pacto de la Duquesa—Quixote and I: And The Pact of the Duchess

ANOTHER GREAT DAY IN EL COLEGIO DON QUIJOTE DE LA MANCHA, WHERE THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD ANTONIA AND HER FRIENDS HAVE STUDIED SINCE THEY WERE SEVEN. THAT IS, UNTIL A YELLOW-EYED WOMAN DELIVERS A LETTER FROM THE DUCHESS OF ALBA. SHE INVITES THEM TO THE INAUGURATION OF A MUSEUM AT HER PALACE, AND “ASKS” DON QUIXOTE TO “DONATE” ALL THE SACRED INCAN OBJECTS THEY SAFEGUARD TO HER VENTURE. THAT HURTS, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THEY SAFEGUARD A PAINTING THAT HOLDS THE LAST HOPE FOR THE RESTORATION OF THE INCAN EMPIRE.

IN 1571 TÚPAC AMARU BECAME THE LAST INCA OF VILCABAMBA, GOT A PORTRAIT OF HIMSELF PAINTED AND MADE A PACT WITH THEIR SUN GOD, INTI, VIA A GOLDEN DISC MADE IN HIS IMAGE.

IF A PERSON IN THE FUTURE CAME ALONG WORTHY OF RESTORING THE EMPIRE, THEY COULD UNLOCK THE SPELL INTI PUT ON THE PAINTING, BECOME YOUNGER, AND SPEARHEAD THE RESTORATION. BUT THE SPELL OF YOUTH CAN ONLY BE UNLOCKED IN THE PRESENCE OF BOTH THE PAINTING AND THE DISC, WHICH WAS STOLEN RIGHT AFTER THE PACT AND HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN AGAIN.

IT’S 1597 NOW, AND OFF THEY GO TO THE PALACE. WHAT AWAITS THEM? THEY FEEL HOPE WHEN THEY MEET A POTENTIAL CONTENDER FOR THE INCAN EMPIRE RESTORATION, BUT DREAD TAKES OVER AS THEY UNCOVER THE DUCHESS’ OWN BLOOD-CURDLING PACT THAT COULD GET THEM ALL KILLED AND RUIN THE INCAS’ ONLY CHANCE. WILL MAGIC BE ENOUGH TO SAVE THEM AND HELP RESTORE THE INCAN EMPIRE? WHAT ABOUT TRICKERY? HOW ABOUT A PROPHECY?

WHEN TÚPAC AMARU MADE THE PACT WITH INTI TO PUT A SPELL OF YOUTH ON HIS PORTRAIT, HE MEANT IT TO WORK FOR A DESCENDANT OF HIS PEOPLE WHO COULD RESTORE THE CRUMBLING INCA EMPIRE...NOT FOR A RUTHLESS DUCHESS WITH A SPECIAL DIET AND A PROPHECY TO FULFILL.

BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE GREATEST GOD IN THE LAND HATES HIS PEOPLE AND NOW SERVES SOMEONE ELSE?

OH...THEY CAN FIGURE THAT OUT ONCE THE GET TO PERU. YOU SEE, TÚPAC’S PACT WITH INTI CAN ONLY BE UNLOCKED IN Q’ENKO, A CEREMONIAL GROUND NEAR CUZCO. BUT FIRST THEY HAVE TO GET TO THE PORT OF CÁDIZ, AND THEN ONTO A SHIP. NO BIG DEAL. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GET IN THEIR WAY?

LET’S SEE...HUMAN SACRIFICES, SACRED OBJECTS, MURDEROUS PIRATES, VENGEFUL PRIESTS, PROUD SPANIARDS, TIRED WITCHES, OLD GRUDGES, GRIEVOUS MISUNDERSTANDINGS...IT SEEMS EXPLODING SHIPS MIGHT BE THEIR SAFEST OBSTACLE.

THEIR HOPES SOAR AS THEY MEET TWO MORE CONTENDERS FOR THE INCAN EMPIRE RESTORATION, BUT AS THEY FIGHT TO GET TO THE ONLY PLACE WHERE TÚPAC’S PACT CAN BE UNLOCKED AND THE SPELL OF YOUTH ACTIVATED, ONE THING BECOMES CRYSTAL CLEAR: THE DUCHESS HAS BEEN RUINING LIVES FOR A LOT LONGER THAN THEY THOUGHT. WITH MINOR OBSTACLES, THREE CONTENDERS HANKERING TO RECONNECT TO THEIR PERUVIAN ROOTS AND ONE DUCHESS WITH A WHIM...WILL THEY EVEN GET ON THE BOAT?

BOOK THREE Quijote y Yo: Y El Pacto de Inti—Quixote and I: And The Pact of Inti

WELCOME HOME EVERYONE! WE’RE IN PERU! THE THREE CONTENDERS FOR THE INCAN EMPIRE RESTORATION ARE EAGER TO RECONNECT TO THEIR ROOTS, THE DUCHESS IS THRILLED, AND ANTONIA AND HER FRIENDS ARE GLAD TO BE BACK, SO HOW COME THE GREATEST DEITY IN THE LAND IS NOT HAPPY TO BE THERE?

HE’S SCARED. FOR INTI TO KEEP HIS PACTS, HIS CAMAQUEN OR LIFE ENERGY HAS TO BE LIBERATED FROM THE DISC FIRST. FOR THAT TO HAPPEN, HE NEEDS TO PARTICIPATE IN A CEREMONY IN Q’ENKO WITH HIS FAMILY. THERE’S ONLY ONE LITTLE PROBLEM...THEY ARE REALLY REALLY ANGRY AT HIM.

INTI...OH, INTI. DID HE MAKE MORE PACTS THAN HE COULD KEEP? AS THEY STRUGGLE TO MAKE THEIR WAY FROM LIMA TO CUZCO, THEY MEET A FOURTH CONTENDER FOR THE RESTORATION OF THE INCAN EMPIRE. HE KNOWS THE WAY AND HIS HORSES ARE FAST. WHAT COULD GO WRONG?

WELL, FOR ONE, CUZCO IS VERY FAR AWAY, AND IF THEY DON’T GET THE DUCHESS TO Q’ENKO IN TIME FOR THE PROPHECY, SHE WILL KILL THEM ALL. ALSO, TURNS OUT VENGEFUL PRIESTS WERE NOT JUST A CÁDIZ PROBLEM. THERE MIGHT ALSO BE A SECRET PLOT FOR A REVOLUTION HAPPENING.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MIX FOUR CONTENDERS, A MERCILESS DUCHESS, A SECRET INDIGENOUS MOVEMENT, ANGRY DEITIES WHO LIKE TO POSSESS HUMANS, THE NAZCA LINES, FIRE, HECK, ALL THE ELEMENTS, AND A GOD WITH LOW SELF-ESTEEM? JOIN ANTONIA AND HER FRIENDS ON THE LAST LEG OF THEIR EPIC ADVENTURE AS THEY DISCOVER THE TRUE MEANING OF POWER AND THE POWER OF LETTING GO.
