More about the book

Set against the backdrop of an archaeological dig in Belize, the story intertwines the lives of Rob, a surgeon, and June, a graduate student, as they navigate a budding romance after a harrowing experience. Their discovery of a rare Mayan codex in a cave leads to insights about the ancient civilization's collapse, as translated by George Avakian, an out-of-work professor. The dynamics shift further with the involvement of Phoebe, an archeology professor, complicating their relationships while exploring themes of love, history, and personal challenges.
