What if the only way to protect a priceless artifact from destruction was to steal it? Archeologist-thief Lane Bradley has made this his calling: rescuing antiquities from turbulent countries and war zones, then selling them to wealthy collectors with the means to protect them. That hasn’t made him a friend of law enforcement. His record of successful heists has put him at the top of relic recovery agent Susara Eaves’ target deck. But when Lane seeks to steal the key to unlocking an ancient civilization’s legendary vitality and beauty for his cancer-stricken daughter, Susara finds herself compelled into a strange partnership with him. Together, they undertake a journey through heavily guarded museum vaults and ruins of ancient Minoan palaces to unearth a paragon civilization’s most precious secret. Only, they aren’t the only ones hunting the answer to this archaeological enigma. Their adventure into the dark recesses of ancient worlds grows perilous as Lane’s lifelong rival, the bloodthirsty assassin son of a Corsican mafia consigliere, strives to beat them to the prize.
