Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Edgar nominee Scott (No Good Deed) mixes adventure, supernatural phenomena and cryptography to create a fast-paced supernatural thriller. Mayan apocalyptic astronomical documents chillingly predict that the world will end on December 21, 2012, unless 13 crystal skulls are reunited. Cedric Owen, a 16th-century scholar and physician whose family has safeguarded one of the skulls from time unknown, struggles to unlock the jewel's secrets and arrange for its safety. Nearly five centuries later, newlyweds Stella Cody and Kit O'Connor unlock Owen's cipher and track the skull to its hiding place, only to find themselves caught up in a global struggle between the keepers of the skulls and those who are determined to destroy them and bring about the end of the world. Stella and Kit's race to prevent the apocalypse turns into a life-threatening, heart-pounding battle between good and evil. (Apr.)

Review
"I love all Manda Scott's books, but this is her best yet: original, imaginative, scary, rooted in the past but as current as tomorrow's nightmare."–Lee Child
“The book is literate, fast-moving and most importantly clearly written for love.”—The Independent
“With a talent for combining physical and emotional action, and superb descriptions of the natural world, Scott writes with an intensity that makes this book a nail-biting tour de force.”—The Guardian
“Manda Scott takes as her starting point the apparent Mayan prophecies of the 2012 doomsday and the legend of the crystal skulls…. Scott has done her research and her novel is so engaging, even plausible, that you, too, will be panting with the desperate excitement of it all..”—Daily Mail, UK
