In a spellbinding blend of history, myth, and science,
bestselling novelist Manda Scott unleashes a thriller that
sweeps from the secrets of the Mayans to the court of a
sixteenth-century queen to a shattering end-times
prophecy.
“It’s a lump of rock,
Stella; nothing more. No stone is worth dying for.”
Except it’s not just a lump of rock. It’s a
blue crystal skull made by the Maya to save the world from
ruin; a sapphire so perfect, so powerful that for
centuries men have killed to own or destroy
it.
Ancient prophecies say that if the thirteen
skulls already in existence are not reunited, the world
will end on December 21, 2012. Cedric Owen, the skull’s
last Keeper, died so that it might keep its secret for the
next four centuries. Now Stella Cody has found it, and
someone has already tried to kill her. Like Owen, she’s
being hunted—but by whom?
Desperate to unravel the
mystery of the crystal skull, Stella must decode Cedric
Owen’s coded writings, sketches and ciphers no scholar has
been able to unravel. What she discovers is astounding: a
shocking secret prophecy…and the staggering puzzle of four
terrifying creatures, thirteen precious stones, and what
will happen if Cedric Owen’s crystal skull falls into the
wrong hands. But time is against Stella. She has only days—
hours—left to uncover the only secret that may yet save
the world.
