Summary

"The Bride of the Sun" by Gaston Leroux is a story set in early 20th-century Peru, following Dick Montgomery, a young engineer, and his scientist uncle Francis as they arrive in Callao to explore Inca history and legends. Dick reunites with Maria-Teresa, a strong-willed woman managing her family's business, and their romance blossoms against the backdrop of local tensions, historical Inca rituals, particularly the Interaymi festival. The narrative combines elements of adventure, romance, and mystery, as legends of human sacrifices, love, and political conflict emerge, especially with the appearance of a Golden Sun bracelet, hinting at powerful historical themes and adding intrigue to their journey.
