Publication date: February 4th 2025
Genres: Adult, Paranormal, Romance
An Egyptian ankh. An Inuit mask. A Skinwalker’s scythe.
Three Neotact artifacts have been found. Only the shield and sword remain.
My name is Harleigh Sinclair. I have a gift to find lost artifacts, though there are some who call it a curse…
When I discover a riddle etched inside a goldstone skull, it may be the clue I need to discover not only the Viking shield, but the famed sword of King Arthur, Excalibur.
After my father was attacked by a Blood Raider over a decade ago, and his sword stolen, my life’s mission has been to find his attacker and bring justice to our family. But before I can find the attacker, I must first discover the original four artifacts before the Blood Raiders obtain them first.
With the aid of the insufferable and dangerously handsome Jagg Ransom, plus my sister and a team of handpicked experts, we follow the riddle’s clues. Our search leads us from a Viking museum in Norway, to underground crypts in Bristol, England, and finally to a forest haunted by a legendary hellhound. But we’re not alone.
The Blood Raiders have gotten desperate. And they’ve been following us. If we don’t find the shield first, they’ll attain more power than we can comprehend, and not only will we fail, but we’ll be doomed to die at their hands.

an excerpt
Cold wind rushed at me as we made our way down the sidewalk in Oslo. A gray sky reflected the rippling water spanning in the fjord beyond the walkway. A majestic museum of white limestone rose alongside us, and beyond that, buildings of old-world, ornate architecture filled the streets. A breeze wafted, tasting slightly of salt. Despite the freezing air, I took in the sights with fascination. The ornate structures were a far cry from the brick and steel of downtown San Antonio.
Flying on Greyson’s jet to Oslo had been tedious, and I kept finding myself thinking of home, of Bits who I’d left with Mom, wondering if the little demon pup was okay.
I thought of Dad, too.
I’d told him goodbye before leaving. He’d looked as he always did. His face pale and hollow, unrecognizable as the vibrant man he’d been before. I’d squeezed his cold hand and told him I was leaving again. I would look for his sword if I had the chance. I would find it if I was lucky.
