Henty is an adventure novel written during the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the main characters, Harry Prendergast and his brother Bertie, as they embark on a quest for the legendary treasure of the Incas amidst the backdrop of a politically tumultuous Peru. Their journey is fueled by Harry's desire to impress the family of a young woman he loves, against the constraints posed by her wealthy father. The opening of the novel introduces Harry Prendergast, a half-pay lieutenant of the navy, who is feeling aimless after his service and is determined to secure a future for himself, particularly in marrying the woman he loves, Hilda Fortescue. After discussing his situation with an acquaintance, Mr. Barnett, Harry learns about the rich opportunities in South America, particularly the legends surrounding hidden Incas’ treasures. He decides to set off for Peru, accompanied by his younger brother Bertie, who is eager for adventure. Mr. Barnett gives Harry a letter of introduction to an Indian muleteer who might help them in their quest. The brothers' preparations are filled with excitement and trepidation, foreshadowing the trials they will face as they pursue their grand adventure in a land filled with mystery and danger.
