When expert gemologist Fay Hunter receives a chilling ultimatum, her world shatters. Armed with nothing but an ancient map, she joins forces with her father's closest friend, the brilliant and enigmatic archaeologist Zach Forester, to uncover the truth.

But deep within the ruins, danger awakens. A rival treasure hunter draws near. Ancient myths stir to life. And someone else is playing a deadly game of deception, determined to stop Fay before she uncovers the truth.
