In need of a break from work and some recent near-death
adventures, archaeologist Annja Creed visits France to
indulge one of her greatest fantasies: finding
D'Artagnan's lost sword. The rapier was a gift from the
reigning monarch and has been missing since the
seventeenth century.
And Ascher Vallois, one of Annja's
treasure-hunting friends, believes he has located the site
of the relic.
But when Annja meets with Vallois, she
learns that he's made a huge sacrifice to protect the
sword and its secret from a relic hunter. Annja discovers
that the artifact holds the key to a fortune. And the man
won't stop until he gets everything he wants—including
Annja.
