After surviving a kidnapping during her recent work in the Underground, Leona Griffin is enjoying a high in her career as a para-archeologist. Her latest job is to authenticate artifacts for the Antiquarian Society. The job seems simple enough until Leona finds a locked room full of dust bunnies that are being used to test Alien artifacts. Add to that, when Leona does begin to authenticate the artifacts she’s hired to look over, one of them turns out to be an old-world glass box known as Pandora’s Box. With her intuition screaming at her to get out, Leona refuses to open the box and makes a hasty exit, but not before discovering a dead body on her way out.
Oliver Rancourt is at the secretive collectors meeting for his own purpose but when he sees Leona in trouble, he steps in to help. When the FBPI raids the event as Leona stands over the body with blood on her hands, she has no choice but to trust Oliver to get her out before she’s arrested for a murder she didn’t commit. An interesting discovery in Pandora’s Box, which is linked to Leona’s past, forces Leona to work with Oliver in an investigation that takes them to a small town where the locals are obsessed with the old legend of cult leader Vincent Lee Vance. As Leona and Oliver get closer to each other and the answers they seek, the danger isn’t far behind, and they’ll have to rely on each other in order to survive.

Leona Griffin is at the height of her career as a para-archeologist thanks to a recent Underworld discovery. Her high profile attracts the attention of an organization of elite, secretive collectors. They want her to authenticate the artifacts that aspiring members submit as evidence to join their group. The ceremony takes place at a glittering reception where Leona is shocked to discover that one of the relics is a powerful Old-World object known as Pandora’s Box. But she’s not the only one interested in that artifact.
Oliver Rancourt, a man with a unique talent—they say you never see him coming—is also there. Leona knows she must not underestimate him. Attempting to make a discreet exit, she stumbles over the body of a waiter wearing the emblem of a dangerous cult. Before she can alert authorities, a police raid sends the reception into chaos. To avoid being arrested, Leona slips away with Oliver—a risky decision that gets her fired.
Now forced to work together, Leona and Oliver pursue an investigation that leads them to the town of Lost Creek where the locals are obsessed with a chilling legend involving a long-dead cult leader and illicit paranormal experiments. But Leona knows the real danger may be the irresistible attraction between herself and Oliver.
