A U.S. agent has been hired to locate the legendary Radix, a
relic with sacred healing powers. But the Knights of
Malta--modern-day descendants of the Borgias--will stop at
nothing to get the relic for their own use and gain favor
with the pope.

For five centuries adventurers, researchers and believers
have searched for the Radix, the sacred relic thought to
possess amazing powers to heal—or destroy. John Brynstone
doesn’t have centuries. The president has ordered him to
find the Radix now. But he’s not alone in his quest.

The
modern-day descendants of the infamous Borgia family will
stop at nothing to wield the power of the Radix. At the same
time, a secret religious organization wants the Radix for
their own ends—and they’ve sent a nameless assassin to kill
Brynstone before he can steal their prize.

Across continents
and through ancient codes and mysteries, Brynstone will have
to unravel riddles no one has been able to solve for
hundreds of years…while racing for his life.
