Summary

A deadly artefact, a woman too good to be true, and a murdered friend. Tom can’t outrun his destiny no matter the consequences.
 
Tom and Liu thought they’d made the discovery of a lifetime when the ancient relic they’re studying reveals amazing properties. Now, Liu’s dead and Tom’s on the run with few he can trust. Running into naive school teacher, Melissa, again could be Tom’s salvation—or his ruin if he can’t stop falling in love with her.
 
From the deserts of Shaanxi Province, China to the coast of South Africa, Tom and Melissa have to navigate history, dodge the unscrupulous and psychotic, and stay alive to rewrite their own stories. But with double-crosses and fiendish plans the order of the day, can they save themselves, and at what cost?
 
Reviewers are saying: I loved this Indiana Jones-type of adventure – exotic locations, a chase after ancient artefacts, a handsome, clever and resourceful hero and a heroine who stands her ground and holds her own. Throw in a bunch of baddies (even worse when one is a family member); a good dose of mystery and mysticism, and you have a page-turner on your hands. I could not put it down until I got to the end. Vida Li Sik, Author.

    My name is Winter Wayne, and I'm a Bone witch—minus the magic. 
    I used to work in the only place in Manhattan that had use for a witch with very little magic—like me—until my boss kicked me out over a job gone bad (not my fault, I swear). 
    Pure boredom and the lack of company got to my head fast. I was so desperate, I took a delivery job from a complete stranger. It was supposed to be an easy job, clean and simple. It was anything but. 
    Now, there's a price on my head and my own coworkers are hunting me down. My mad fighting skills alone aren't going to be enough to keep me alive. Looks like the time has come to dig out my mother's bones and complete the ritual that will finally ignite the magic in my bones—if I even make it that far. 
    She never wanted me to be part of the Paranormal world, but she made sure I was prepared for it anyway. I'm finally about to find out why.
