Blood in the Andes

In his first international assignment in years, Samuel is a bodyguard to an envoy to a royal wedding in Peru. Unlike human history, where the Inca civilization fell to the Spaniards, the Inca civilization and the rule of the Inca continues for vampires. The vampire empire extends from Columbia to Chile. Samuel arrives early to be with bodyguards from Canada, Brazil, and Argentina to help with security arrangements prior to the wedding of the Inca with a vampire from the Amazon region.

Samuel was sent because his boss thought the assignment would be easy with little peril. But perils abound, not only for the wedding ceremony but for all vampires in Peru. Vampires are addicted to mescaline that causes short term memory loss. A drug lord and a priest compete for attention by the Inca. One of the bodyguards is an assassin. Pishtacos, a race that survives off eating the fat of others, poses yet another threat. These threats and many more could halt the wedding.
