Seventh Disc

"Three thousand years. Seven golden rings. One question that changes everything.
When archaeologist James Burnstein excavates a golden artifact inscribed with undecipherable symbols in the mountains of Bolivia, he is unprepared for what the soil gives up next: two men, preserved in ice, who speak a language older than history — and who have been waiting, frozen in time, for someone to find them.
They are Maruti and Sambar. And the message their father carved into a stone half a world away tells them exactly where to go.
Set across two timelines — modern-day Bolivia, Colorado, and Spain in 2003, and the ancient world of 950 BC — The Seventh Ring follows Burata, a chieftain who leaves his tribe and everything he loves to find his vanished son. His journey carries him through dark forests guarded by a Black Jaguar, through an underground passage of absolute darkness called Leyl, and finally to the fabled city of Mañana and its enigmatic guardian, Alandra. What she shares with him — seven truths about the nature of love, desire, belief, and self — he preserves on seven golden rings, for those who will one day need to find them.
Part adventure, part spiritual quest, part love story, The Seventh Ring is a rare novel: one that earns its wisdom through loss, and its joy through honest reckoning with what it means to be alive.
Rich, layered, and deeply human — a story for those who ask big questions and are willing to sit with the answers."
