Synopsis

In 1532, the orphan Esteban leaves Barcelona with the mysterious navigator Mendoza and sails toward the New World. He carries an unusual medallion and hopes the journey will lead him to his father, while stories of legendary Cities of Gold offer another reason to venture onward.

Along the way, he befriends Zia, an Inca girl, and Tao, a boy preserving the legacy of an ancient civilization. Together they cross unfamiliar lands and discover astonishing ruins while treasure seekers pursue them. Clues linking their pasts to the golden cities turn the journey into a search for family, identity, and long-buried secrets.
