Reseña

Valdivia, 1867. As a ship of German settlers flounders
off the Chilean coast, a shadow slips away into the
stormy night. This is no ordinary passenger; he is
an Austro-Hungarian deserter, a scientist, and a spy
guarding four crates whose contents could alter the
course of modern warfare. His destination: a secret
mission in the untamed lands of Araucania.

With Captain Beck hot on his heels by order of
Berlin, the fugitive plunges into a world where the
gunpowder of the Chilean army clashes with the
ancestral resistance of Chief Nahuelbuta. But in
the heart of that cold jungle - of majestic, ancient
trees, lakes and volcanoes - what he finds is not
just military power, but a teasure that will
challenge the official history of America and a
mystical medicine that will heal his own ambition.

Pursued by European powers and seduced by a
forbidden love, he must decide: fullfill the secret
mission for the Metropilis, follow his greed for
riches, or start a new life with that beautiful
woman? Only one will be his true Araucano Gold.
