Dr. Emma Samuels has spent a very long time studying the treasures humanity leaves behind. Governments call her. Museums call her. Collectors call her. She authenticates relics, catalogs discoveries and determines their place in human history. But some artifacts carry more than history with them. Some come with legends, warnings, curses and prices that were never meant to be forgotten. And when something extraordinary is unearthed, eventually someone finds their way to Emma's hidden office and knocks on her door.
