Countless souls have entered seeking fortune. None have returned. Now an artefact has surfaced – a mysterious dark stone etched with a map that points the way to that lost world and its hidden city. It also speaks of a treasure beyond price: the key to immortality. The stone was stolen by a powerful Brazilian crime family.
