A militia attack throws an archaeologist into a world of chaos and intrigue in this gripping adventure thriller.
When former MI6 agent turned archaeologist Dr. Ava Curzon is engaged by American intelligence to track down an African militia claiming to hold the Ark of the Covenant, she is plunged into a world where nothing is what it seems.
Her breakneck descent into the shadowy realm of dark biblical magic hurls her across continents and into the opaque worlds of the Knights Templar, freemasons, occultists, and extremist neo-Nazis, pushing her mentally and physically to the limits.
As the plot twists and turns across the centuries, she requires all her skills to solve a trail of ancient clues leading her inexorably towards a terrifying ritual. Taking center stage, she faces the ultimate battle against an age-old evil she must stop at all costs.
A great choice for fans of Dan Brown and Kate Mosse.
