What if an ancient spirit followed you home?
When world-renowned engineer Peter McMaster travels to the Ivory Coast to solve an energy mystery, he expects technical problems not ancient magic.
Deep in the African wilderness, a strange vortex appears where a geothermal power plant is planned. A tribal Sangoma performs a ritual beside the swirling sinkhole until she vanishes into it before Peter's eyes.
Left behind is a mysterious blue glass vessel.
Inside it: a tiny doll.
Back in New York, Peter discovers the impossible. When the glass rings with a strange tone, the doll awakens moving, screaming, and tapping out a cryptic rhythm.
With the help of artifact researcher Anna Albright, Peter begins unraveling a terrifying truth: the doll may contain the spirit of Asase-Yaa, an ancient West African earth deity imprisoned by forbidden tribal magic.
But they are not the only ones searching for answers.
Power companies, politicians, and secret organizations are all racing to control the supernatural force tied to the artifact and the land it came from.
What began as an engineering job becomes a battle against ancient powers that were never meant to be disturbed.
Some mysteries should stay buried.
Some spirits should never be awakened.
And some gifts... come with a price.
