About this ebook
When former MI6 agent turned archaeologist Dr Ava Curzon is engaged by American intelligence to track down an African militia claiming to hold the Ark of the Covenant, she is plunged into a world where nothing is what it seems.
Her breakneck descent into the shadowy realm of dark biblical magic hurls her across continents and into the opaque worlds of the Knights Templar, freemasons, occultists, and extremist neo-Nazis, pushing her mentally and physically to the limits.
As the plot twists and turns across the centuries, she requires all her skills to solve a trail of ancient clues leading her inexorably towards a terrifying ritual. Taking centre stage, she faces the ultimate battle against an age-old evil she must stop at all costs.
Dr Ava Curzon is Lara Croft meets Evelyn Salt – the first real challenger to Dan Brown’s Robert Langdon.

Only a few hundred miles to the east lay the vast Afar Depression—the Horn of Africa’s arid and scorching cradle of humanity. But the town of Aksum itself was fertile and lush, rich with grass and spreading trees.
As first light began to bleed over the horizon, they raced past Queen Sheba’s grandiose bathing pool—its once petal-strewn waters now murky and stagnant, long neglected.
