It could change history books, the future of humankind, and religions around the world, unless Adrian promises never to disclose it. It’s a last wish, one that binds Adrian and his grandfather into a blood-oath that will retrace his grandfather’s footsteps to find the stone and then return it to a yet unknown pyramid.

Reading the accounts of Adrian’s grandfather and his family’s time with the stone, the two begin to understand just how dark his family’s secret really is. It’s a carved gemstone that will defy science, archaeology and would be the next step in human evolution, but its greatest power also unlocks the boundaries between life and death. With a little help from his grandfather’s friends, the two young lovers come face to face with malevolent darkness that will challenge all their fears and their love as they find the stone together.
