The Torque

by Jeff Martin

In the brutal, dark world of ancient Europe, a vast hidden treasure could determine the fate of the Roman Empire. Voterix, a Celtic warlord, seeks the lost gold to fund a massive army to overthrow the Roman occupation of Gaul. The stage is set for a bloody Celtic uprising until Jules, a beautiful Galatian slave girl, arrives in Genava. Mysterious Druids and the legions of Rome are on a collision course with Voterix as they desperately race to find the elusive treasure of Cimbrionis. Centuries later, two college roommates receive a mysterious package that sets in motion a deadly hunt for the ancient treasure. They are tracked by shadowy assassins until they stumble on to the greatest archaeological discovery of all time. The startling find sends shockwaves throughout the religious world, and provides a key to the birth of Christianity.
