While working on a dig in the California wilderness,
archaeologist-adventurer Annja Creed uncovers evidence of a
tragedy that's linked to Chinese miners during the days of
the Gold Rush. A sudden attack on the site by shadow
figures drives Annja to find the connection to a mysterious
buried city in China. Lured by legends of gold, betrayal
and the vengeance of a Han Dynasty overlord, Annja travels
on the Orient Express, battling avaricious treasure hunters
and a modern-day descendant of an ancient league of
assassins. Her adversaries will stop at nothing to stake
their claim on the fabled lost city, where a Han leader's
dark past promises doom for those who dare to reveal its
evil power.
