The opening of the book introduces us to Professor Martin Lamson and Dr. Laurens Djama, who are exploring a mummy they believe to be Vilcaroya. The professor, an expert in South American archeology, marvels at the mummy's extraordinary state, while Djama theorizes about its potential for revival through a mysterious process. After a week of intense experimentation, Djama successfully resurrects the Inca prince, leading to a whirlwind of emotions and revelations as they learn of his past, including his tragic plight and his devotion to Golden Star.
