For the Ghost, a mercenary operating in the Syrian Desert, Liv could unlock one of mankind s most potent secrets.

Together their paths lead to a shocking discovery one that will tear them apart and change the world forever...

A man throws himself to his death from the oldest inhabited place on the face of the earth, a mountainous citadel in the historic Turkish city of Ruin. This is no ordinary suicide but a symbolic act. And thanks to the media, it is witnessed by the entire world. But few understand it. For charity worker Kathryn Mann and a handful of others in the know, it is what they have been waiting for.

The cowled and secretive fanatics that live in the Citadel suspect it could mean the end of everything they have built and they will kill, torture and break every law to stop that. For Liv Adamsen, New York crime reporter, it begins the next stage of a journey into the heart of her own identity. And at that journey's end lies a discovery that will change EVERYTHING ...

Who is Solomon Creed? A plane crashes in the Arizona desert. One lone figure emerges alive from the wreckage. He has no memory of his past, and no idea of his future. He only knows he must save a man. But how do you save someone who is already dead?

The forbidden Citadel at the heart of the ancient city of Ruin opens its gates for the first time in history. Why now, after centuries of secrecy? A deadly disease has erupted within and perhaps infected charity worker Gabriel Mann may hold the cure. Meanwhile without Gabriel, former journalist Liv Adamsen is vulnerable in the desert oasis that is her new home. And in the USA, newly qualified FBI Agent Joe Shepherd is investigating the disappearance of NASA’s most senior professor. For them all something big is coming. Something that will change everything. But will it be a new beginning or the End of Days? The final book in the trilogy.
