BOOK ONEQuixote and I: And The Pact of the Duchess
ANOTHER GREAT DAY IN EL COLEGIO DON QUIJOTE DE LA MANCHA, WHERE THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD ANTONIA AND HER FRIENDS HAVE STUDIED SINCE THEY WERE SEVEN. THAT IS, UNTIL A YELLOW-EYED WOMAN DELIVERS A LETTER FROM THE DUCHESS OF ALBA. SHE INVITES THEM TO THE INAUGURATION OF A MUSEUM AT HER PALACE, AND “ASKS” DON QUIXOTE TO “DONATE” ALL THE SACRED INCAN OBJECTS THEY SAFEGUARD TO HER VENTURE. THAT HURTS, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THEY SAFEGUARD A PAINTING THAT HOLDS THE LAST HOPE FOR THE RESTORATION OF THE INCAN EMPIRE. IN 1571 TÚPAC AMARU BECAME THE LAST INCA OF VILCABAMBA, GOT A PORTRAIT OF HIMSELF PAINTED AND MADE A PACT WITH THEIR SUN GOD, INTI, VIA A GOLDEN DISC MADE IN HIS IMAGE. IF A PERSON IN THE FUTURE CAME ALONG WORTHY OF RESTORING THE EMPIRE, THEY COULD UNLOCK THE SPELL INTI PUT ON THE PAINTING, BECOME YOUNGER, AND SPEARHEAD THE RESTORATION. THEY FEEL HOPE WHEN THEY MEET A POTENTIAL CONTENDER FOR THE INCAN EMPIRE RESTORATION, BUT DREAD TAKES OVER AS THEY UNCOVER THE DUCHESS’ OWN BLOOD-CURDLING PACT THAT COULD GET THEM ALL KILLED AND RUIN THE INCAS’ ONLY CHANCE. WILL MAGIC BE ENOUGH TO SAVE THEM AND HELP RESTORE THE INCAN EMPIRE? WHAT ABOUT TRICKERY? HOW ABOUT A PROPHECY?
