Into the Jaws of the Lion

During the untold millennia before patriarchy was conceived, the world was a very different place. Nothing concealed stays buried forever.
THE ARKANA SERIES
The forgotten past refuses to stay buried in an artifact hunt spanning continents, centuries, and lost civilizations. The prize is a cache of myth-busting relics that could rewrite history or end it completely. When a secret society squares off against a ruthless fundamentalist cult, only one faction can win. More importantly, only one will survive.
Volume 5 - Into the Jaws of the Lion
INTO THE JAWS OF THE LION finds the Arkana agents on a new adventure in India where they search for a jewel-encrusted figurine that holds a clue to an even more priceless artifact. Beating the Nephilim to the prize is the least of their worries. Back in the States, the cult's leader has evolved a plan to release a deadly plague on an unsuspecting world just as his henchman zeroes in on the whereabouts of his child bride. Every effort to throw the hunter off the girl's trail only draws him nearer to his prey. A rift among the members of the Arkana crew threatens to destroy the relic quest altogether. Held captive on a frigid mountaintop in the Himalayas, they are forced to summon all their resources not merely to complete their mission but simply to survive the night. If you thought you knew where this saga was headed, be prepared for a shocking twist when the Arkana team wanders blindly into the lion's jaws.
