In the fifteenth century on the slopes of the Andes Mountains, an Inca boy is just one of many royal sons, but when he turns twelve, a prophetic lie names him heir apparent over his eldest brother. Amid a savage rebellion that fractures the empire and attracts enemy nations, he escapes into the Amazon jungle where he is found by a family of hunter-gatherers. Now he must lead this primitive tribe to retake the city of his birth, only to then defend it against an invading horde commanded by the fiercest warlord the Inca have ever faced.
