When twenty-seven-year-old lawyer Cynthia Okonkwo receives a phone call from a client, hardly does she knew that It is a call that will change her life, for, in meeting with Anthony, she has marked herself for death. And all for a shiny little piece of metal which a powerful industrialist is hunting down. Now, Paul Atwell and his duo of beautiful female assassins are after her for the piece of the Bruno Calibur in her possession. They will do anything to get it, too.
From the baking sands of Lagos, Nigeria; to Manhattan; to the Himalayas; to the coldest parts of the Earth, a deadly hunt is on...for this one weapon. And Cynthia Okonkwo will make a stunning discovery that what she holds is far more powerful than she ever imagined. For it is out of this world. And it wants nothing more than to come through. A secret group, the Order of the Hidden Light, will do everything in their power to stop it; Paul Atwell will do everything in his power to retain it, while Cynthia will become the key to either set the world free of this alien, terrifying presence, or the precursor to a new apocalypse that will ruin the entire human race.
