Description
Some keys open doors. The Granite Key unlocks the past and threatens the future.
THE ARKANA SAGA
A lost artifact. A coded truth. An extremist cult willing to kill to possess it, and a secret society willing to die to protect it.
Weaving archaeological puzzles, astronomical riddles, and ancient civilizations into a high-stakes conflict, the Arkana saga delivers a gripping history-based adventure where uncovering the past may be more dangerous than leaving it lost.
Perfect for readers who love secret society mysteries, ancient artifacts, hidden history, symbol-driven conspiracies, and clever, clue-based thrillers.
Volume 4 - Riddle of the Diamond Dove
An even more cryptic astronomical riddle sends the relic hunters and their foes to Africa. What they discover there will have grave consequences for both sides.
