A disgraced ex-Delta Force operator and a brilliant but haunted tactical genius are thrust into a deadly game when they're hired to steal an ancient Persian map. Their mission plunges them into a high-stakes treasure hunt, leading them to the heart of a rogue state where a cursed crown of immense power lies hidden. Driven by a desperate need for redemption, they battle ruthless mercenaries, navigate treacherous landscapes, and confront the terrifying truth behind the Crown of Xerxes-a relic whose power corrupts all who dare to touch it, offering superhuman abilities at the cost of their very sanity. This fast-paced action adventure thriller blends the military precision of Jason Bourne with the ancient mysteries of Indiana Jones, all while exploring the dark side of power, betrayal, and the bonds of brotherhood tested to their breaking point.
When a shadowy organization known as the Order of Mitra, armed with a chilling mix of archaic weaponry and advanced technology, emerges from the shadows, the fight for control of the crown becomes a global conspiracy. As the crown's radioactive power takes hold of one of our heroes, turning him into a mad king, a desperate race against time begins, a battle fought in the shadows, on the rooftops of opulent cities, and through the treacherous rapids of a forgotten land. A secret society is mobilizing for war, and they will stop at nothing to unleash the artifact's power on the world. The epic adventure comes to a head with a final sacrifice that leaves readers breathless, questioning whether even the most powerful evils can ever truly be contained, and leaving them wanting more. If you love fast-paced thrillers with ancient curses or supernatural thrillers with a global conspiracy, then prepare for a white knuckle ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
