AJ Bluehorse and Leslie Kicklighter are facing down demi-god Alex who's bent on world domination. They'll have to find the second staff of Viracocha before Alex does or he'll warp the world into his own vision which means destruction for the world as we know it.
They must take on an Aztec god, one of Alex's disciples; decode the mysterious symbols found by Benedict Cecil Spafford hundreds of years ago, and discover the staff. Can they do it before time runs out? Or will the world be forever changed?
This is book four (the final book) in this award-winning series!
Book 1: Toy of the Gods - Leslie Kicklighter agrees to go on a simple expedition, a tour of the Amazon on a luxurious, prototype hovercraft boat that promises to revolutionize travel. The only problem is an Inca god wants to use the passengers for his own agenda: finding someone to take over the mantle of his powers.
Captain John Holbrook is having nothing but trouble because someone keeps sabotaging him. He doesn't trust Leslie and he definitely doesn't trust the local entrepreneur, Simon Leverence.
The Inca god, Viracocha, takes over the body of a man named Sun CAstel, one of the tour guides, in order to get to know the passengers. When he can't figure out who is worthy of his powers, he strikes down the ship and strands everyone in the jungle, forcing them all to make their way through the jungle on foot.

Book 2: Gamble of the Gods - AJ Bluehorse was born on the Navajo Nation reservation in northwestern New Mexico. Her mother moved them out to New York City when AJ was little, and AJ is loving her New York apartment and job as a freelance programmer. Now she's being asked to come back to the Navajo reservation to help with a high-tech problem at the local casino. Someone's steeling a lot of money, and even with the casino's new computer system, they can't seem to track down the thief.
She'd like to stay in New York and learn more about her new powers, but the call from her cousin to help in New Mexico is too great.
Along the way she adopts some dogs, works with her boyfriend to learn what her powers can do, and investigates to hopefully find not only the person stealing money, but also a murderer who killed a young boy.

AJ finds herself called back to the jungle as each night brings dreams of a hidden ancient city.
Accompanying them is an old friend, Miguel, as well as two unknowns, Alex and Anya.
Every person on this trip has their own reasons to be out in the jungle, and many don't care if they find John or not.
