Cristina Isabel Escalante thought she was going to be stuck at home all summer, panicking about starting high school and growing apart from her two best friends. But when her grandfather falls ill, she finds herself traveling all the way to Colombia-and when his deathbed confession reveals that he is passing on his burden to her as executor of cursed magical jewels stolen from the Chachapoya Peruvian Tribe, Cristina must undertake a quest that brings her to Chile and takes her across the continent. With her cousin and two best friends, she'll have to devise a plan to return the treasure before her actions destroy not only her family but the Spanish Royal family.
