Deep in the South American rainforest, journalist Kim Adams uncovers evidence of a city that should not exist.
Erased from history and hidden for centuries, its discovery draws the attention of powerful forces determined to claim what lies beneath it.
What begins as a pursuit of truth quickly becomes a race across jungle, desert, and mountain, as Kim and her companions uncover an ancient network of guardians, forgotten civilisations, and a power sealed away long before recorded history.
But some secrets were buried for a reason.
And some doors, once opened, cannot be closed.
Blending historical mystery, archaeology, and high-stakes adventure, Staff of Gold is the first book in The Staff Cycle.
