After learning of a powerful lost relic from a medieval journal, treasure hunter Kip Keene travels to a lost Aztec city in the remote Yucatan jungle in search of his greatest discovery yet: a golden hinged chest of Templar origin, vanished from the pages of history. And, upon their arrival, Keene and his companions quickly experience the nature of the relic's power.

By day, the Aztec city lies in moss-covered ruin. At night, it turns into a glittering and thriving empire, its walls sheathed in pure gold.

Trapped within the city's towering walls and hunted by a maniacal French scholar, an Aztec army and an old bounty hunter Keene's past, Kip Keene must find the Templar relic and escape the cursed city.

Or else the world that he knows will disappear forever.

The Kip Keene series blends the fast pace and exotic locales of classic adventure stories a la Doc Savage, John Carter, Indiana Jones & Clive Cussler with a science fiction twist.

NOTE: this is a standalone novel that can be fully enjoyed without reading any other Kip Keene books.
