Synopsis

Archaeologist Annja Creed is among these doubters. The reality is that the body was lost to history. But despite her skepticism, Annja suddenly finds herself pulled along an increasingly complex trail of clues, each more remote than the last.And as she and her companions race to their final destination, one thing is clear—the only tomb she may find is her own....
