A dying priest. A forbidden relic. And a secret powerful men will kill to protect.
When powerful men begin dying in grotesque and inexplicable ways, archaeologist Michael Rempart recognizes the pattern before anyone else does. The deaths point toward a secret buried decades ago-one powerful enough to destroy anyone connected to it.
At the center of the mystery is archeologist Michael Rempart: brilliant, haunted, and desperate to outrun a past he can't forget. When a dying priest thrusts a bloodstained photograph and a strange crimson pearl into his hands, Rempart is plunged into a nightmare of ancient evil and relentless pursuit.
The pearl isn't just a relic-it's the legendary philosopher's stone, a vessel of dark alchemy and demonic power capable of possessing minds and corrupting souls. But this stone holds something far older... and far more malevolent.
Determined to uncover the truth, Rempart journeys to a forgotten monastery buried beneath the sands of western China's Taklamakan Desert-where history, myth, and terror converge.
There, Rempart-with Li Jianjun, his sharp-witted assistant, and Kira Holt, an FBI profiler mourning her father's mysterious death-must face an enemy that transcends time. As the veil between worlds begins to tear, they find that the pearl is waking.
The ancient shadows are rising. And Rempart must confront an evil that does not merely kill.
It possesses.
And this time, it has chosen him.
Ancient Shadows is a chilling supernatural thriller of alchemy, possession, and forbidden history-where love is dangerous, faith is fragile, and the past is not done with the living.
Book TWO of the Ancient Secrets Series: Where the past is buried... but never dead.
From hidden relics to forbidden knowledge, the Ancient Secrets novels follow archaeologist Michael Rempart across continents as he uncovers mysteries history tried to erase-each tied to alchemy, ancient power, and dark forces that refuse to remain buried.
