The Invisible Empire: A Tale of the Inca Resistance
As the Spanish conquistadors sweep across the Inca Empire with their horses and thundering weapons, young prince Qusqu' faces the unthinkable: the collapse of his civilization. When his father, the mighty Pachacutec, is captured and his brother poisoned, Qusqu' finds himself the last hope of a crumbling world.
But in the midst of military defeat, he discovers a profound truth—that some victories cannot be won with swords and shields. Guided by visions, ancestral wisdom, and an unexpected connection with Urpi, a weaver who preserves history in her patterns, Qusqu' embarks on a revolutionary path: to save the soul of Tawantinsuyu when its body cannot be defended.
From the golden temples of Cusco to the hidden sanctuary of Vilcabamba, from communion with mountain gods to encounters with a mysterious prophetess, Qusqu's journey becomes one of spiritual transformation. Rather than futile resistance, he orchestrates an invisible revolution—gathering knowledge keepers, redefining traditions, and planting the seeds of cultural survival that will flourish for centuries to come.
