Virgin of the Sun
The French have burned Hubert of Hastings to the ground, and only blood and rage carry him through the siege to the teeming streets of Richard II's London. Inheriting his uncle's antique shop should mean safety, but Hubert cannot escape the web of courtly politics: a forbidden romance, a murdered friend, and a desperate flight that sends him across the Atlantic with Kari, a Peruvian castaway who has already lost one world. In the shadow of the Andes, they discover an empire of gold where the Virgin of the Sun holds secrets older than history itself. Haggard crafts a propulsive adventure that moves from the muddy battlefields of medieval England to the glittering temples of a lost civilization, balancing swashbuckling romance with genuine wonder at what lies beyond the known world. This was the proving ground before King Solomon's Mines, and you can feel Haggard finding his signature blend of exotic adventure and enduring friendship.
