Deep in the jungle, hidden from the world, a golden city rises-its temples glittering, its rulers proud, its people bound by prophecy. A young architect is chosen to design the city's greatest temple, a monument meant to outlast time itself. But when he uncovers a prophecy carved in stone-From within shall the city bleed-his world fractures. Torn between loyalty to his rulers and a forbidden love that could cost him everything, he begins to question whether he is building glory... or ruin. Beside him stands a warrior cast out in shame, fighting to reclaim his honor. Together, builder and exile are swept into a storm of betrayal, rebellion, and war as the city teeters on the edge of collapse. When vengeance ignites and blood spills in the streets, the prophecy takes flesh-and the architect must choose: save the woman he loves, or save the city that may already be lost. Rich with atmosphere, alive with fire and silence, The Last City of Gold is a haunting tale of love, prophecy, and survival at the end of an empire. For readers who crave epics filled with secrets, ruins, and impossible choices-this is the story you will carry long after the last page.
