Only when thirteen crystal skulls are reunited can the world be saved: ancient prophecy combines with modern zeitgeist in this gripping, high concept conspiracy thriller.

Ancient wisdom predicts the end of the world with uncanny precision.

Hidden for four centuries, a crystal skull of exquisite beauty has just been found by Stella Cody.

For the last 500 years one skull has been missing. Now it's about to be found ...
