Overview

""A girl's place is in the village. But Olivia's soul is on the mountain."" In the heart of the Andes, the Incan Empire is connected by the Chasqui-elite messengers who run the royal roads with the speed of the wind. For centuries, this honor has been reserved for men. Until Olivia. Guided by a rare mathematical intuition and the ancient wisdom of the Three Marks, twelve-year-old Olivia sees patterns in the starlight and logic in the steepest climbs. While her village expects her to weave at the loom, she is busy calculating oxygen debt and optimizing stride frequency. When she is granted a chance to compete in the brutal Chasqui Trials, Olivia must face more than just impossible terrain. She must outrun tradition, survive the grueling ""Hill Test,"" and navigate a world of shifting political alliances where one wrong message could mean life or death. ""The Runners' Path"" is a breathtaking blend of historical adventure and philosophical discovery. It is a story for anyone who has been told they ""can't,"" and for the dreamers who find the music in the numbers. Will Olivia become the first female messenger of the Empire, or will the weight of the messages she carries be her undoing?
