About this ebook
Finding the relic is a divine quest. Even if it means committing murder.
When a mysterious man orchestrates an attack on archaeologist Annja Creed and then offers her an assignment, Annja is baffled. But the mission is too intriguing for her to refuse. She must find an object that possesses a sacred and powerful secret offering atonement to anyone who uncovers it–or wreaking havoc on the world.
Stolen from an ancient order of knights, the relic is now in the clutches of a band of pirates sailing the South China Sea. When a government leader threatens to destroy the pirate ship–along with the artifact–rather than let it get into the wrong hands, Annja must decide at what cost the sacred prize should be protected. Destroying it would defile history. But saving it could bring about apocalypse.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I normally really like this series but this one didn't do it for me. Not enough swordplay in the middle. Also, there a lot of teasing about what the artifact is but it never get's revealed.
