Cassie Arroyo, an American studying in Rome, has her world ripped apart when someone tries to kill her father, an art history professor at an Italian university. Is she their next target?
Cassie sets out to uncover what is happening, only to learn that she is a member of an ancient bloodline that enables her to use the Spear of Destiny — a legendary object that can shape the future. Now running from a secret organization intent on killing those from her bloodline, Cassie must — with the help of some friends — decipher the clues that will lead her to the Spear. Her life — and the fate of the world — depends on it.
Christina Diaz Gonzalez has created a fast-paced thrill-ride of a book, rich with riddles and myth, that young readers will not be able to put down.
"Gonzalez’s (A Thunderous Whisper) thriller hits the ground running and doesn’t let up.... The story’s shocking twists and juicy mix of history and legend, as well as a cliffhanger ending, should be more than enough to keep readers eager for Cassie’s next adventure." — Publishers Weekly
