Set in the 16th century, the narrative follows K'uchi-Wara, an Inkan child destined for ritual sacrifice, as he journeys through the empire with his family and various figures of authority. Along the way, he encounters diverse cultures, forges friendships with other chosen children, and witnesses the grandeur of Inkan cities and temples. As his parents grapple with their inability to prevent the ritual, the story reflects on themes of power and sacrifice, rooted in the historical discovery of a child's remains on Cerro El Plomo in 1954.
