Synopsis

They weren’t supposed to find it. They definitely weren’t supposed to open it.

Treasure hunter and salvage expert Cy Reed has made a career out of surviving the impossible. But when famed archaeologist Dr. Miranda May recruits him to a remote dig in Mexico’s Eastern Mountains, even Cy isn’t prepared for what lies hidden beneath the jungle.

A LOST PYRAMID. A FORBIDDEN LIBRARY. A DEADLY SECRET.

Buried inside an isolated canyon stands a colossal Maya pyramid—and within it, the fabled Library of the Mayas, thousands of gold plates preserving ancient knowledge, lost history, and a chilling explanation for a civilization’s collapse. It’s the discovery of a lifetime.

It’s also a trap.

The deeper Cy’s team pushes into the pyramid, the deadlier the dangers become—fire, blades, collapsing passageways, and mechanisms designed to kill anyone who dares disturb its secrets. And then they make a devastating realization: the pyramid isn't just a library … it's a containment system. Something inside has been held in check for over a thousand years—but now the structure is starting to fail. Every trap they trigger drives it closer to catastrophic collapse.

BETRAYAL. MURDER. A RACE AGAINST TIME.

When Votan—a masked killer with a trail of bodies across Central America—arrives with a helicopter full of mercenaries, the mission becomes a brutal fight for survival. With his mentor Dutch Graham injured and Beverly Ginger struggling for her life, Cy faces an impossible choice: flee before the pyramid comes down… or stay and risk everything to stop a disaster that could obliterate the region.

The Maya underworld is real.
And Cy Reed just descended into hell.

Perfect for fans of Clive Cussler, James Rollins, and Indiana Jones, TORRENT blends archaeological intrigue with cutting-edge science in a pulse-pounding adventure you’ll never forget.
