The Antiquarian

A leather journal arrives from the bottom of the world, and Lewis Tregarth—a cautious London book dealer who has spent his life handling other people's adventures—finds himself compelled to live one of his own. His great-uncle vanished in Patagonia a century ago while chasing rumors of a creature that should have been extinct for ten thousand years. Now, armed with nothing but fading ink and a dead man's coordinates, Lewis heads south into a landscape of glacial lakes, wind-scoured plains, and secrets kept for generations. What he uncovers will force him to decide what matters more: a fortune or a promise.
