About the Book

A myth-busting adventure pitting patriarchy against buried history in an artifact hunt that spans continents, centuries, and lost civilizations


  • Series Finale Award Nominated as Best Mystery of the Month
  • For Fans of Archaeology Adventure, Historical Thrillers, and Treasure Hunt Mysteries

THE ARKANA SERIES
Meet the Arkana: a secret society of antiquarians devoted to unearthing the buried past of humanity. Continent by continent, dig site by dig site, artifact by artifact, they have amassed troves of curiosities that contradict recorded history.

Their greatest find is almost within reach, but somebody else wants it too, and his future plans for the world don't include peace and equality. The Arkana and their adversaries launch a global treasure hunt that could rewrite history or end it completely. Only one faction can win. More importantly, only one can survive.

Volume 4 - Riddle of the Diamond Dove
In RIDDLE OF THE DIAMOND DOVE, the Arkana and the Nephilim hunt for buried relics in Africa. They must sift an entire continent--their only lead a riddle carved onto a mysterious bird sculpture. Even as the Arkana team struggles to decipher the clue, new dangers hover over their colleagues at home.

A Nephilim henchman, sent to track down the runaway bride of the cult's leader, creeps ever closer to her hiding place among the Arkana. Troubles multiply when another Nephilim operative recruits a clever ally who might be more than a match for the opposing side.

As the forces of the Arkana and the Nephilim converge on a ruined city in a forgotten corner of the dark continent, the shocking outcome is beyond anyone's powers to foresee. The quest for lost artifacts will veer in an unexpected direction once both sides solve the riddle inscribed on the wings of the Diamond Dove.
