A startling photograph, the demonic killings of members of an archeological dig team, and a friend's disappearance hurl archeologist Michael Rempart into his most emotionally fraught adventure yet.


When Michael unexpectedly receives a recent picture of a long-lost love, a woman he thought was dead, he gives up everything to search for her and to find answers to questions that have plagued him through the years. Instead, he uncovers more mysteries as he's drawn deeper into the occult and the ancient power of alchemy.


Michael's search takes him from St. Petersburg, Russia, to a dig site deep in Ukraine's Carpathian mountains-a desolate area where medieval knights once roamed, and where horrifying secrets are buried.


This sweeping adventure spans both time and space from the present day to the last days of the Russian Tsars, involving the riches and debauchery of the court of Nicholas and Alexandra and the "mad monk" Rasputin. And as Michael's quest continues, he soon finds that while he hunts, he is also being hunted. Will he find all that he's looking for ... before it's too late?
