The Jaguar Blade

An Archaeological Adventure (Charlee Flynn, Book 3)

By: Matt James

Narrated by: Erin Lin

Breaching Machu Picchu’s mysterious “Secret Door” was just the beginning.

What begins as a simple, late-night theft of Incan treasure propels Charlee, Sean, and Sydney Flynn into a perilous quest deep into the Peruvian Amazon, where something far more valuable—and far more deadly—awaits.

A new discovery points them toward the Heart of the Forest, a precious stone pulsing with otherworldly energy, said to reside in an ancient city overflowing with the amassed riches of the Inca Empire.

But the Heart’s shadowed history reveals a chilling truth. How could something so sacred and beloved by its people become forever tied to an instrument of death and misery—the Jaguar Blade?

And the Flynns aren’t alone in this hunt…

A rogue Bolivian general, obsessed with myths, legends, and the lure of untold wealth, is hot on their trail. Driven by ambition and the promise of power, he’ll stop at nothing to claim the fortune and fuel his own “righteous” cause.

THE JAGUAR BLADE is the third book in international bestselling author Matt James’ Charlee Flynn archaeological adventure series.

The Characters

I loved the stories and characters of all 3 books. I hope there are more.

Good standard stuff from James

I preferred this one over the second book, but still, pretty standard treasure hunter story, I feel like this world needs more, more relations besides the Flynn’s and more mystery around the treasure, I personally figured the Jaguar blade was part of the heart since its first (rather random) mention, but will keep up with Charlee’s adventures
