The plot is complex, yet crafted in a manner that allows clarity. It is set in 2012. The Order, a shadowy secret organization holds the secrets of power and financial wealth, and they have held the destiny of ordinary men and women hostage for many generations. The Order has used politicians to ensure their legacy is passed on from one generation to the next. The world's only hope is in the hands of a chosen few known as the Guardians. They are led by Wave Rider who, himself, is guided by the goddess Nemesis.

This tale features unforgettable characters, political intrigue, and the proverbial conflict of good vs. evil. Ortiz Soula's world is changed by a cryptic message that puts him on an adventure from the Yucatan to Washington DC. Leila Freyan, a mathematician with incredible financial skills, and Senator Andrea Jackson, who is dedicated to fighting corruption in Washington DC, find themselves on the same side of the struggle. But their enemy is an old one, as cunning as a serpent. In this mesmerizing tale, the Guardians must unravel the intricate web of corruption and a secret order that has controlled the financial destiny of the world for many centuries. Wisecarver is a great storyteller who has the extraordinary ability to transport readers into an imaginary world without making them lose touch with the reality of their ordinary lives.
