Bolivia 1537, Inca times. Young Chalatrea is terrified she has annoyed the gods when she unearths an ornate necklace and a tiny silver llama. Returning the next day to bring them back, she meets an imposing mystical warrior towering on a black stallion, seemingly intent on confounding her fears. Fast forward through time to Bolivia 1842, when Ambassador Blackmore and Maria, Chalatrea's descendant, find love. But the course of true love does not run smooth, as Blackmore becomes the victim of self-indulgent, jealous dictator of the time, General Mariano Melarejo. Present day Bolivia greets a diverse group of friends from England with crime, greed and corruption, whilst they attempt to put the pieces of the past together. A compelling crime drama of life, love, and human nature, with a fascinating insight into South American history.
