Conquistador's Blood
Acerca de este libro electrónico
The blood of conquistadors flows in their veins...
When the patriarch of the clan Casaverde drops dead at home, his last words are Grant Casey’s name—but Grant hasn’t spoken to anyone from that family since his parents died, and the clan shut him out. The lure of the half-siblings he’s never met gets him as far as the New Mexico estate where his father was raised, the one they left from the night of the accident that shattered Grant’s life and blew his future.
Coronado’s treasure may be legend, and half the family’s determined to find it—the other half to bury that legacy and pretend the past never happened. Grant wants nothing from these people, but everybody suddenly wants something from him. His parents’ secrets propel him into the hunt for the lost gold, an adventure from the pueblos of the southwest to the shipwrecks of the Gulf Coast, and beyond.
Four hundred years of blood-stained history obscure the truth about the conquest—the truth his parents died for. All Grant can hope is that it won’t kill him, too.
