The Belial Stone
An ancient monolith. A deadly secret. One chance to save humanity. 

Professor Delaney McPhearson’s world is shattered when her best friend, archaeologist Drew Masters, is found dead. Before she can grieve, her life takes a terrifying turn—she’s attacked in her own home by a man with strength and skills far beyond normal. 

Former Navy SEAL Jake Rogan drops everything to search for his foster brother, Tom Jeffries, who has disappeared without a trace. But as Jake delves deeper into the mystery, he realizes the stakes are far higher—and more perilous—than he could have imagined. 

When Delaney and Jake’s paths collide, they discover their loved ones’ fates are intertwined—and tied to the groundbreaking work of an eccentric archaeologist at Göbekli Tepe. As they follow the trail, it leads to an ancient source of unimaginable power. 

Their quest quickly escalates into a race against time to protect humanity itself. But their enemy has been planning this for millennia, and the odds are stacked against them. To save the world, they’ll need to outsmart a foe who knows every move they’ll make—and survive long enough to make a stand. 

If you’re a fan of James Rollins, Clive Cussler or Dan Brown, you’ll be hooked on The Belial Stone. Packed with mysteries, explosive action, and edge-of-your-seat suspense, this is the start of a series you won’t be able to put down.
