It started as a dreamβa redheaded warrior king fought and died for his men centuries ago. The dream would lead archaeologist Annja Creed to the king's undisturbed corpseβ¦and one of England's greatest mythical artifacts.
Deep in an archaeological dig in England's Midlands, Annja locates a braided necklace around a mummifΓ―ed king's neck. Made of an unusual materialβnot quite obsidian, but gleaming with multihued colorβthe torc is an astonishing find.
But someone knows exactly what the torc means. And he will do anything to get his hands on the Tear of the Gods. When the dig is compromised and innocent archaeologists are slain, even Annja herself is left for dead. Now she is fleeing for her life, not knowing the terrifying truth about the relic she risks everything to protectβor the devastating consequences should it fall into the wrong handsβ¦.
