    About this ebook

    Archaeology Professor Arcadia Jones returns in the latest action-packed mystery novella from Joshua Elliot James.

    Greed, Prestige, Envy……… Arthur Mason had it all when he “kidnapped” his colleague Arcadia, a top archeologist. Mason knew that Arcadia’s brains would help him acquire the Legendary Sword of King Arthur. 

    Arcadia finds herself in the dark, dark caves with her colleague Arthur Mason. 

    But Mason and Arcadia are not alone. They encounter a legend from the life of King Arthur who is none other than King Arthur’s illegitimate son Mordred. Arthur Mason is in possession of the sword now and goes into hiding in the dark caves, which is why Modred is hopping mad when Arcadia meets him. 

    I thought you were dead,” said Arcadia looking closely at Mordred. “Well you could say that again,” said Mordred once again looking closely at Arcadia. 

    Arcadia could not believe that she was having a conversation with Modred. 

    “Look Mordred we cannot sit here and do nothing. Let’s get started and find that sword. Are you sure it was stolen by someone other than the ghosts of this cave?” asked Arcadia. Mordred looked at her in surprise. “Yes it was taken by a human,” said Mordred as Arcadia saw his eyes flash fury from the helmet that adored his head and which was a part of the armor. Arcadia did not want to look at his eyes for fear that she would burn under its gaze. Modred and Arcadia are oblivious that the rightful owner of the Legendary Sword is right behind them. 

    Arthur Mason loses his way in the caves and has resigned to himself that he would never escape…..BUT WILL ARCADIA FIND HIM OR WILL HE PERISH? 

    OR WILL THE GHOSTS OF THE PAST GUIDE ARCADIA TO RETRIEVE THE LEGENDARY SWORD OF KING ARTHUR?
