Bestia — Nancy Brooks

What if a man more powerful than any known human escaped being exiled into the Otherworld several millennia ago? What if he stepped ashore on the Mosquito Coast; would he be considered a god? Would he know when invaders were approaching, threatening his newfound existence? Where would he go to avoid conflict? Would his worshippers follow him? If his secret were ever uncovered, how far would he go to protect it? Archaeologist Ethan Jameson is about to find out. "Bestia, it's a Spanish word for beast." What starts out as a casual encounter soon throws three Americans into a world of mystery and magic, where love and desire are wielded as weapons, and forbidden knowledge is protected by jaguar warriors. It is the first step on a journey towards eternal balance.
