It is the early 1340s, a decade full of possibilities and freedom. Father Bernard arrives in the valley village under the three mountains, his holy orders in hand, charged with reestablishing the church of St. Cyprian's and bringing its parishioners back into the fold. But a dark undertone has taken hold of the town, where practices from a rival church defy anything Bernard's
ecclesiastical education prepared him for. In fact, he would call them almost cult-like. Even the power of the Mother Church behind him is of little use as he tries to protect his flock and his family from the unnamed nefarious threat. Seven hundred years later, career-oriented Everly finds archeology to be an amazing puzzle leading to understanding a lost culture, and, of course, a path to get tenure. To Nylah, the summer internship is a chance to get out of New York and meet hot guys in Europe. To Trevor, having a dig of his own means finally escaping from his famous father's overbearing shadow. To the seven-hundred-year-old victims, it's a chance to have the truth come out at last. But to fortune hunters, ancient treasures pose a temptation too enticing to resist.
