The Byzantine Connection: Book 3 of the Peacetaker Series

Stella Hunter is on a quest to locate a scroll that may hold the power to break eight-year-old Gabriel's curse. Her search will take her across the globe. The clock is ticking in a countdown to the end of the world and no one has the slightest notion where the scroll might be. It's nonstop action, an edgy and dark story full of mystery and adventure, and totally impossible to set down once you've started reading.

Stella Hunter is an obsessive reader of all myths and legends. She and her long-time boyfriend, Carter, go to visit their old friend and priest at his church. There the journey begins when Carter sees an old Oriental couple pray, then leave the worship decades younger than when they walked in minutes before. Their story surrounds a bizarre and poorly chiseled granite statue delivered to the church. But is it just an ugly statue? They all too soon discover it is an emissary out of folklore legend, tempting and granting wishes, with an unfortunate trade-off for its victims.
