Something bad happened to Matinicus "Matt" Hawkins in Afghanistan. The ex-SEAL was grievously wounded in an ambush that killed men under his command and almost ended his life. When he pushed for an investigation, he was kicked out of the Navy with a psychiatric discharge. The doctors put his shattered leg back together, but the bitterness destroyed his marriage. Five years later, Hawkins is jerked out of his tranquil life as a designer of undersea robots. A super-secret government group wants him to go back to Afghanistan on a strange and dangerous mission. A Georgetown University historian has unearthed evidence that could lead to the fabulous treasure of Prester John, a legendary Christian ruler of an eastern empire. The historian has disappeared, and the government wants Hawkins to track down the treasure as a matter of national security. The centerpiece of the trove, an emerald-encrusted gold scepter, is the linchpin in the Prophet's Necklace, code-name for a plot that is intended to kill more people than the attack on the Twin Towers and rally others to the terrorist cause. Hawkins sees his mission to foil the plot as an opportunity to search for answers. He pulls together an eclectic team that includes his ex-wife, a former comrade-in-arms and a mentally unstable computer whiz. Backed by his unlikely team, Hawkins will travel thousands of miles and hundreds of years on an amazing time-space odyssey. He'll face off against a cold-blooded killer. Probe the underwater secrets of an ancient tomb. Navigate the treacherous stands of an unimaginable conspiracy. And in the process, will discover that there are treasures even more valuable than gold.

Deep in his secret underground chambers, the dark wizard Cyrus Mandalin studies his most beloved and prized treasure, the ancient tome known as The Simvac. Centuries old, this book of dark magic has been the cause of violent bloodshed and world wars, ever since its creation by the ancient druid order from the dawn of time. It had taken Cyrus years to learn how to translate the forgotten language in which The Simvac had been written, but now that he has finally found a way, the magic he would soon possess would make him the most powerful man alive. In Minion City, the young sorcerer Mordain has been summoned to a secret meeting, by none other than King Henrey the Third himself. This meeting would bring together a team, consisting of the most powerful mages and experienced fighters that the world has ever seen. Once united, they learn they have been called together by these ancient sentient beings known as the Grand Mystics of Ire. The strange thing is that no one seems to know anything about these Grand Mystics, only that they are asking Mordain and the others to come to their aid. Whispers of war, high treason against the monarchs of the land, give birth to violent conflicts and deadly confrontations. Entire races of creatures have been transformed into undead, vicious monsters, bent on killing and destroying everything in their path. It seems that no matter where one turns, dark magic is taking control, and no one seems to know exactly who can be trusted. Mordain and his companions find themselves forced on a path that will change their lives forever. If they do not act quickly, it may be too late. Too late not only to save themselves, but to save the entire world from the dark magic that threatens to destroy them all.

Douglas Kelly provides a comprehensive and historically valid analysis of the art of medieval French romance as the romancers themselves describe it. He focuses on well-known writers, such as Chrétien de Troyes and Marie de France, and also draws on a wide range of other sources—prose romances, non-Arthurian romances, thirteenth-century verse romances, and variant versions from the later Middle Ages. Kelly is the first scholar to present the “art” of medieval romance to a modern audience through the interventions and comments of medieval writers themselves. The book begins by examining the difficulties scholars perceive in medieval literature: problems such as source and intertextuality, structure in its manifold modern meanings, and character psychology and individuality. These issues frame Kelly’s identification and discussion of all the known authorial interventions on the art and craft of romance. Kelly’s careful reconstruction of the “art” of romance, based on the records left by the romancers themselves, will be an invaluable resource and guide for all medievalists.
