The antiquities black market can be a violent place. Dak Harper has a violent past.

After the ultimate betrayal by his brothers-in-arms, Dak Harper hasn’t stopped moving for months. Some of the same soldiers who left him for dead in the Middle East still want his head. And as long as Dak's alive, they know they will never be safe.


Fate intervenes when an eccentric young millionaire offers Dak an unusual job. The catch? His first assignment is to recover a priceless artifact that's in the possession of the most feared cartel boss in Peru.

This cartel doesn't just smuggle drugs, though. They have diversified into illegal gold mining, and human trafficking.

Dak finds himself caught between doing his job, and helping the people of the slums outside of Lima, whose suffering and squalor goes largely unnoticed by any developed nation's media. He learns of their plight through an unlikely introduction to a small boy named Hector.

A bond is forged, and Dak knows he can't ignore what's happening.

With a corrupt mayor in the back pocket of the cartel, Dak is in for the toughest fight of his life to help the people of Lima, and recover an artifact that once belonged to the famed conquistador, Francisco Pizarro.
