whose skills may provide his enemies with the greatest weapon of
all. Jude Lethe is not a field agent, but he'll have to step up

One day, we'll all be myths. During a time that man has forgotten,
a mighty ship was laid to rest beneath the rolling waves of the
Aegean Sea. With her, the secrets and powers of the Gods lay,
waiting to be discovered...Orla Nyren is a spy, a mercenary, a
stone cold killer. The last thing she will ever do is let her guard
down. Forced into time off from the Ogmios Team, she finds herself
in unfamiliar territory: vacationing with civilians in the
Peloponnese. A late night encounter with a handsome stranger offers
her a glimpse into a side of life she has never allowed herself to
imagine: normalcy, freedom, love. But old secrets refuse to stay
buried and when the ship is exhumed, her vacation takes a drastic
turn. With the help of fellow team member, Jude Lethe, Orla embarks
on an adventure that will return her to the myths of old in which
the unthinkable is made real and the horrors of man's resolve
threaten to seal the doom of humanity. It begs the question: how
far is one willing to go before they upset the Gods? Will tempting
fate simply result in proving that we make our own, or will it
anger the Gods beyond any chance of absolution?
With the discovery of the long lost Seal of Solomon Konstantin
Khavin and Orla Nyren find themselves in Jerusalem and Palestine
fighting for their lives with enemies on all sides. They don't know
who they can trust. They don't know which way to turn next. All
they know is they have to find the Seal while diverting the
detonation of a dirty bomb at one of Jerusalem's most holy sites.
Which would be fine, but Orla's been here before, during the worst
days of her life when she was a prisoner in Jenin, a refugee camp
on the border. She was brutally abused by a sadist she remembers
only as The Beast - a man she thought she'd killed during her
escape. He isn't dead. He's the man who has the Seal. And Orla is
going to have to face The Beast alone.
