The Hidden Empire

IN TOMORROW'S AMERICA, THE NEW ENEMY IS EVERYWHERE… The General prays for peace. The smuggler retires. The cyborg dreams of being human. The assassin closes in. And the Seer is missing. It is the most guarded secret in the fledgling Kingdom of New Jerusalem—that its leader has disappeared, leaving behind only a series of cryptic ciphers. Now, with the fate of her new nation in the balance, MacKenzie must find Rafael Ward to help decode the Seer's clues. Clues leading to the oldest library in the Americas. To the most brutal Conquistador of the Age of Discovery. To the fabled city of gold, El Dorado, and a secret bloodline whose descendants may hold the key to saving humanity from the bitter wrath of the gods. The Hidden Empire is a thrilling, thought-provoking conclusion to the Rafael Ward series. *** Praise for the Rafael Ward series: "great characters, fascinating world-building, a whole slew of entertaining plot points and history thrown in for good measure" - E.G.
