One trifling little arrest shouldn't have cost Ellie Mallory her job, but it's only the latest in a line of injustices facing any educated woman with archaeological ambitions. When Ellie stumbles across the map to a mysterious ancient city, she knows she's holding her chance to revolutionize Pre-Colombian history. There's just one teensy complication. A ruthless villain wants it, and Ellie is all that stands in his way. To race him to the ruins-and avoid being violently disposed of-she needs the help of maverick surveyor Adam Bates, a snake-wrangling rogue who can't seem to keep his dratted shirt on. But there's more than Ellie's scholarly reputation (and life) on the line. Her enemies aren't just looters. They're after an arcane secret rumoured to lie in the heart of the ruins, a mythical artifact with a power that could shake the world. Between stealing trousers, plummeting over waterfalls, and trying not to fall in love with her machete-wielding partner, will Ellie be able to stop the oracle of a lost empire from falling into the wrong hands? 650 0 $a Archaeologists $v Fiction. $9 89864 650 0 $a Suffragists $v Fiction. $9 93131 650 0 $a Jungles $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Maps $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women archivists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mayas $v Fiction. $9 83186 651 0 $a Central America $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Action and adventure fiction. $2 lcgft $9 183907 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft $9 83459 830 0 $a Raiders of the arcana ; $v 1. 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240723010335.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F3CDAB9648B811EF92258A7C5CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
