Thirteen-year-old Diego Navaria thought his world shattered with his father's sudden death-but that was only the beginning. A hidden code, an ancient compass, and a violent attack on his family pull him into the depths of a secret war dating back to the nation's founding. Hunted by powerful enemies, Diego uncovers the truth about the Order of the Dead-a resistance buried beneath history's lies-and his own bloodline's place in it. With danger closing in, he must decide: walk away, or embrace the legacy of the forgotten? Because some secrets aren't just meant to be kept-they're meant to be fought for.
