Besieged by invaders, the Minoans are desperate to hide their most sacred relics where no one will ever find them. Legend has it that these objects are both priceless and dangerous in the wrong hands.Three thousand years later, a secret society and a fanatical religious cult launch a global hunt to find the lost Minoan relics. The Arkana wants to preserve them. The Blessed Nephilim wants to exploit them for a darker purpose. The quest to recover the cache sets these two rival factions on a collision course with disaster. Caught in the crossfire is a young woman who unknowingly holds the only means of finding their coveted prize.Volume 3 - The Dragon's Wing Enigma In THE DRAGON'S WING ENIGMA, agents of the Arkana and the Nephilim leave no stone unturned on the island of Malta in their search for lost artifacts. The Arkana team frantically scavenges for clues among the ruined temples of the archipelago before their foes arrive to comb the same terrain. A new crisis erupts on the home front when a runaway bride seeks refuge with the Arkana. The girl is the youngest wife of the Nephilim's polygamous leader, and she may have accidentally led the Nephilim straight to the Arkana's cache of matristic artifacts. Matters come to a head in an isolated mountaintop cave when the relic hunters learn that their prize can only be discovered if they "keep true to the dragon's wing." With Nephilim operatives blocking their escape route, will they live long enough to solve the riddle? Will the Nephilim recapture their leader's wife and breach the defenses of the Arkana itself? More than treasure is at stake this time around.
