Dr. Arienne Cerasola might have a suspicious mind, but that doesn't mean something nasty isn't being planned by two of her former acquaintances. They have banded together on an archaeological expedition in the United Kingdom, and that could spell trouble for the magical community. The magical apocalypse kind of trouble. As a witch and disgraced archaeologist, Arienne shouldn't be surprised when Kingston Pon asks her help to find a lost relic. After all, Kingston is one of the senior members of the United Coven and Alliance and Arienne is one of the few people who knows about his secret resistance activities with the Crux Crucio Orbis. When she learns her own Grandfather is involved in the C. C. O., Arienne's more than a little angry that her family has been keeping secrets. Secrets about their involvement in the magical world. Secrets about Arienne's legacy. Keeping secrets means creating lies and Arienne is determined to unravel the deception even if it means collapsing the foundation of her new life. Caught between the clandestine world of the C. C. O., the dangers of the Alliance, and the treachery of a new magical organization Arienne must trace the grain of truth in the legends passed down from the ancient Celts, through the Roman Empire, and right into King Arthur's court. Legends that were created to protect the truth and keep the relic from passing into the wrong hands. The confines of loyalty and duty make it an even more complicated quest. She might be the only one who can balance the power without collapsing the foundations that hold magic in check but to accomplish that, she'll have to face the truth about herself, her family, and her place a world she was never really part of.
